Mission Statement of Team: The goal of the performance and Parallel Processing Team is to identify and investigate aspects of ADL that will benefit from high-performance computing on multi-computers. Current investigation is focused on various performance issues arising from the ADL environment in terms of both space and time complexities, including WWW applications. It is also developing algorithms and software techniques for efficient image processing for high performance digital libraries.
It is clear that the success of DL's in general, and of ADL in particular, is heavily dependent on high performance computing. It is our belief that parallel processing, particularly in the form of networks of workstations, has an important role to play in achieving this high performance. The responsibility of the Performance and Parallel Processing Team is to identify and investigate aspects of ADL that will benefit from high-performance computing on multi-computers. In particular, the Team is investigating various performance issues arising from the ADL environment in terms of both space and time complexities. It is also developing algorithms and software techniques for high performance digital libraries.
