Current Projects

• NOX/Open vSwitch : A controller for OpenFlow-enabled switches, to ease the configuration and administration of large networks.
• WheelFS : A new distributed file system aimed at meeting the storage needs of today's distributed applications.
• SCIgen : A random CS paper generator.
• Electric Chess : A free, email-based chess website I made and maintain. If you feel like playing, sign up and challenge me (my username is nedmike). Also, the source is available from Sourceforge.
• Movie Madness : A schedule generator for watching multiple movies in one day for the price of one ticket.

Previous Projects

• CiteSeer / OverCite : We set up our own mirror of CiteSeer, a computer science citation index, and built a new, distributed version of it called OverCite.
• Chord / p2psim / Accordion : I'm working on comparing different peer-to-peer algorithms using simulation techniques.
• All Pairs Pings data for PlanetLab : Continuous measurement of pairwise ping data between PlanetLab machines.
• DOA : A Delegation-Oriented Architecture for the Internet, designed to accommodate middleboxes (like NATs and firewalls) without network layering violations.
• OceanStore and Tapestry : A distributed global storage system and the overlay network on which it's built.
• SEDA : An event-based architecture that OceanStore uses. I was an infrequent developer.
• OpenAFS : I spent a lot of time working on OpenAFS during my time at the IBM Almaden Research Center. In particular, I helped develop and implement a Java API and an automated installation toolkit.
• FPGA-based CD player : For CS150 (the undergraduate digital design class at Berkeley) in the fall of 2001, my partner and I created a CD player controller out of a Xilinx FPGA chip, and wrote a report about it.
• OC Animation : My class project for CS184 (the undergraduate graphics class at Berkeley) in the fall of 2000. It involved hand modeling an apple core and creating an animation tool using MFC.
