Dr. Hawkes is co-director of the satellite facility of the High-performance Computing & Simulation Research Laboratory (HCS). This lab was established in 1993 by Dr. Alan George to investigate a wide variety of topics in high-performance computing and communications, including computer networks and architecture, parallel computing, distributed computing, and fault-tolerant computing.
Topics of interest include the following:
* large-scale storage transmission over high-speed networks
* iSCSI environments
* network congestion
* fault-tolerance and self-healing on networks
* load balancing of network flow.
* virtual topologies
