about

hi. my name is alfred park, and i am a phd student at georgia tech. prior to coming to georgia tech for grad school, i was already here! i received my b.s. in computer science at georgia tech in 2002. i am a research assistant under dr. richard fujimoto in the systems group and cercs.

the picture to the left is from pads '03 (dr. kalyan perumalla is in the white shirt behind me; see full size photo).

research

my research interests are in parallel and distributed simulation of systems and networks. my advisor is dr. richard fujimoto.

our current projects include large-scale packet-level simulation of networks approaching real-time runtimes (see this press release) and simulation of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. my current research includes implementing and comparing asynchronous and synchronous time management for large-scale simulations. we are utilizing the pittsburgh supercomputing center for performance evaluations over many processors.

i maintain the current releases for parallel/distributed ns (pdns), which is based on the popular ns-2 discrete event simulator used for networking research.

junk

look! another web space!

in another life, i was planning on a career as a chemist/biochemist. i was active with the sherrill group as an undergraduate.

i like to spin records in my free time; my tastes are trance and house. i've spun a few mix cds together, and for the curious i have the track listings somewhere...
