Parallel Programming models
SCALP

The Scalp project aims at the creation of an efficient and effective programming methodology for the next generation high performance architectures in Consumer Electronic products. The project targets the Spacecake architecture designed by Philips. The Spacecake architecture is based on a regular structure of tiles, where a tile is a heterogeneous multiprocessor with a shared memory architecture. The Scalp programming model is based on SP (series-parallel) graphs, which offer significant advantages with regard to the ease of programming, portability, and performance predictability. In the project it will be explored whether SP design patterns can be defined for a relevant set of current and future CE-applications. These SP design patterns will be embedded in an SP programming environment that also provides accurate, low cost estimations on the performance of the design patterns.

ASTROSTREAM
The Astrostream project aims at creating an application development environment for stream-based astronomy applications tailored to the needs of the next-generation radio telescopes LOFAR and SKA. The Astrostream software architecture will be optimized for high productivity, high efficiency, multi-platform support, and flexibility in run-time behavior. Astrostream is intended for challenging applications with many Tera-bits/s of streaming input data and tens of Teraflops of processing power, typically on large cluster computers.


Peer-to-Peer Systems
I-SHARE

I-SHARE is a project on sharing technology at different levels in wired and wireless P2P systems. It is part of the BSIK programmme Freeband. As a guiding example, we are defining an architecture for P2P-TV, a P2P system for the dissemination of both live and recorded programs of 10,000+ TV channels. Research issues are how to do recommendations to users on TV programs, how to design the user interface, how to build application-level multicast trees for distributing live video, and in general, how to share the contents of individual video recordings on users' hard disks.

P2P- Fusion

The research topic in the P2P-Fusion project is to support creative audiovisual activities in virtual communities. We will build a prototype system that makes it easy for the members of such communities to create, reuse, and share audio and video productions over the Internet in a legal fashion, without costly servers, and without complex central system management.
