Information Security
The group is working on several different cryptography projects. Some projects involve the development of components to support secure high-performance computing systems (e.g., secure distributed file systems). Other projects involve the use of high-performance computing in encryption/decryption.

Personal Navigation Systems
Currently, virtually all personal navigation systems use simple single-core processors. However, if the past is any indication of the future, that is likely to change. This project is looking at ways in which different high-performance computing technologies might be used in these systems in the near (and distant) future.
For more information, contact Prof. David Bernstein.
Ordinary Differential Equations
The Modified Picard Method (sometimes called the Parker-Sochacki Method) is known to be useful in the generation of Taylor series solutions, root finding, and the computation of Maclaurin polynomials. This project is exploring parallel versions of this method.
For more information, contact Prof. Jim Sochacki.
Continuum Routing
A great deal of attention has been given to network-based routing. However, considerably less attention has been given to the computational aspects of continuum-based routing. This project is considering the ways in which different high-performance computing technologies can be used to find routes on 3-dimensional surfaces.
