Jie Cai

I am currently interested in parallel computing, cluster computing, distributed shared memory systems, as well as direct remote memory access (multirail communications). I am a member of Computer System group, and I am involved in Intel Cluster OpenMP project and work with Dr. Peter Strazdins and A/Prof. Alistair Rendell at ANU.

I have also got research experience in sensor networks, DSP applications, and computer visualization.
