Title : Fast calculation method of Set Cover Problem on parallel reconfigurable processor DAPDNA-2
Abstract : This paper proposes a fast calculation method of the set cover problem, which is implemented on reconfigurableprocessor DAPDNA-2 of IPFlex Inc. Content replication is a widely employed technique to improvethe performance of large-scale content distribution systems. Replica placement method is derived from the set coverproblem which is known to be NP-hard. It is difficult to caluculate the large-scale set cover problem on a program counter-based processor. Our proposed algorithm divides the combination optimally and performs pipeline operation.Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm reduces the execution time by 40 times compared to Intel Pentium 4 2.8GHz.

Mr. Kikuta made a presentation at Technical Meeting in December.

Title: An Experiment of GMPLS Controlled Gigabit Wide Area Ethernet
Abstract: We implemented the Gigabit Ethernet Networks controlled by GMPLS for Wide Area Ethernet. InWide Area Ethernet, multiple path can be established by VLAN tag based switching, but we should control a networkby setting up the VLAN properly. In this Implementation, we realized automatic control of VLAN configure,and confirmed establishing and disconnecting the path.

Prof. Bijan Jabbari lectured on Jan.8 for GCOE.
Prof. Bijan Jabbari is from Geroge Mason University in U.S.
He gave us a lecture on “Internet and MPLS Research in GMU”.

After the lecture, we showed Prof. Jabbari demonstrations of our research topics.
