Professor Carter
joined the Department of Computer Science
in January 1993. His research interests include multiprocessor computer
architecture, operating systems, parallel and distributed computing, and
computer networks. Of particular interest are scalable shared memory
architecture designs, both hardware and software. Dr. Carter is co-leading
two ARPA-sponsored research projects: the Avalanche scalable multiprocessor
architecture design effort and the Mach-4 (FLEX) operating system project.
The goal of the Avalanche project is to develop an integrated cache, memory,
and communication architecture that significantly reduces the latency of both
distributed shared memory and message passing multiprocessor communication.
The goal of the Mach-4 project is to develop an operating system that
provides a much higher degree of flexibility than traditional operating
systems, and to use that added flexibility to circumvent the
performance/functionality tradeoffs that thwart traditional highly-decomposed,
microkernel-based operating systems.
