Stanford University Distributed Systems Group


The Distributed Systems Group (DSG), led by Prof. David R. Cheriton, is a research group in the Departments of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at Stanford University.


Current Projects

The DSG has research projects in the following areas:

  1. High-performance Communication: very fast wide-area networks, network interfaces, multiprocessor gateways, multicast, distributed systems architectures and protocols, including Dissemination-Oriented Communication Support. The PARADISE project serves as an active testbed for much of this research.
  2. High-performance modular distributed operating systems, with particular support for efficient distributed parallel execution of large-scale applications.
  3. Parallel architecture, systems and programming, including hardware development of a multiprocessor machine, parallel operating systems and parallel and distributed application structuring.

The primary source of funding for this work is ARPA.
