Speaker：Prof. Kei Hiraki（Department of Computer Science, University of Tokyo）

Abstract：
In this talk, we introduce a high-speed data transfer system using an HTTP server and client using single-TCP strem. The system can be implemented in a inexpensive and off the shelf PCs but it can carry 6.5 Gbps data transfer between very distant locations.  The system we develop is based on Firefox web browser and Appache web server. The basic idea, implementation and evaluation result will be discussed in the talk.

About the Speaker：
Prof. Kei Hiraki (PhD in Physics from the University of Tokyo)

He studied physics at the University of Tokyo, and he received B.E., M.S., and Ph.D from the University of Tokyo in 1976, 1978 and 1982 respectively. He worked in computer architecture, parallel processing at Riken Japan, Electrotechnical Laboratory and IBM T.J.Watson Research Center. He designed several important computers including FLATS (a lisp machine for algebraic computations), SIGMA-1 (largest dataflow machine so far built), JUMP-1 (a large scale parallel processor based on globally shared memory) and GRAPE-DR (SIMD based computation accelerator for Peta-Scale simulation). He is now a professor of the department of computer science, the University of Tokyo.
As for networking, he worked on high-speed TCP data transfer and inter-layer optimization methods. His group currently holds all the classes of 'Internet2 Land Speed Record'.
