10/11/09 Two new FastFlow papers are available (ParCo 2009 and PDP 2010). FastFlow is faster than OpenMP, Cilk, and TBB (+35% over OpenMP, +226% over Cilk, +96% over TBB for Smith-Waterman/UniProt DB).
01/09/09 Our GridCOMP STREP project has been elected “project of the month” by the European Commission in September 2009. The full software package supporting the development of distributed and multi-core applications based on autonomic components and behavioral skeletons is available in the Marco Aldinucci's recent software section under GPL license.
FastFlow: efficient streaming on commodity multicores. Faster than TBB, OpenMP, Cilk, Posix locks … probably faster than whatever you are currently using.
H and G indexes: check here the H-index (Hirsch Number) and Egghe's G-index of my research activity.
VirtuaLinux, the first open-source Linux meta-distribution natively supporting robust Virtual Clustering and a novel disk abstraction layer, which permits the fast- and space-efficient creation of Virtual Clusters.
I would like to sincerely disacknowledge Italian government for these researches: for the open source code we produced despite it, for the ideas we made freely available to the research community worldwide nevertheless. We owe our sincere ingratitude for continuous drifting of lymph from university and research, for the no-founds to support the non-participation to conferences, for student fellowships we are not opening, for the pneumatic vacuum of project calls and positions, and ultimately, to keep us in a no-hope-in-the-future mood. At the end, future is, by its very nature, so arch and ephemeral; it has this annoying tendency to become past, sooner or later
