CPSC 681 seminar, Spring 1997
- Date:
- Monday, February 10, 1997
- Title:
- Computing on the Star Interconnection Network
- Speaker:
- Dr. Ranjan K. Sen
Computer Science Department
Louisiana Tech University
- Summary:
- The star interconnection network has a lower degree and
diameter than the hypercube. However, many algorithms that are designed
for the hypercube does not scale easily on the star network. We shall
talk about two ranking schemes that would make such algorithms to run
with comparable efficiency.
- About the speaker:
- Dr. Sen Obtained the M.Sc.in Physics (Electronics) from Bombay University
in
1974 and the Ph.D. in Radiophysics and Electronics from Calcutta University
in 1979. He has recieved the M.N.Saha award from the Institute of
Electronics and
Telecommunication Engineers for best paper contribution in 1977-78. Dr. Sen was
a faculty member in the Computer Science and Engineering Department
at the Indian Institute of Technology from 1979 to 1996. He also
worked at Hampton
University during 1988-90 and at Western Washington University during
1995-96. Currently he is working at the Louisiana Tech University.
Dr. Sen's main academic interest is in designing parallel and
distributed computing
systems and VLSI using graph theoretic combinatorial models. He has
published papers in the areas of interconnection networks, parallel
algorithms, processor mapping, dataflow and systolic algorithms. He
teaches programming, computer network design, parallel and distributed
algorithms, and graph theory.
