One of PlanetLab's main purposes is to serve as a testbed for overlay networks, and research groups at UC and other collaborating institutions are able to request a PlanetLab slice in which they can experiment with a variety of planetary-scale services, including file sharing and network-embedded storage, content distribution networks, routing and multicast overlays, QoS overlays, scalable object location, scalable event propagation, anomaly detection mechanisms, and network measurement tools. There are currently over 800 computing nodes and 600 active research projects running on PlanetLab. Thanks goes to recent Computer Science PhD student, Chad Yoshikawa, who has maintained UC's nodes and carried out the recent upgrade. Chad used PlanetLab to validate his PhD work on distributed load balancing algorithms. If you are interested in getting involved in PlanetLab please contact Prof. Fred Annexstein or Prof. Ken Berman.

Mimir, named for a primal god of Norse mythology, is based on the recent algorithmic breakthrough of rateless, erasure codes developed by Michael Luby. Their system is running currently on several dozen machines, and creates a dynamic multi-terabyte storage cluster that is immune to failure rates of over 50%-a remarkable achievement. Ryan and Chris maintain a blog site with more information about Mimir at www.lerao.com.
