Greg
Finn
is a senior computer scientist in the Computer
Networks Division at the USC
Information Sciences Institute. He received the B.S. degree
in Physics in 1973 from Brandeis University and the M.S. in Computer
Science in 1978 from the University of Southern California.
Greg joined
ISI in 1979 and worked for Jon Postel as a researcher until 1991.
During this period Greg developed the first IP suite for Xerox
bitmapped workstations and was a principal developer of the first
multimedia email system. In 1991 he became principal developer
for the ATOMIC project
under Danny Cohen. ATOMIC is believed to have been the first functional
gigabit LAN, capable of combined send/receive speed of nearly
800 Mb/s.
He later became
project leader for the Netstation
project, which attempted to demonstrate that gigabit LANs allowed
a workstation's primary peripheral devices to be attached to a
network via IP/TCP rather than to a specialized internal bus.
Toward that end the project demonstrated reliable transmission
of 30K/datagrams-per-second, plus their acknowledgements between
hosts. The demonstation of a functioning IP-based SCSI disk driver
was a key step in what later beacme the IP-SCSI effort in the
IETF.
Currently,
his research interests lie in the area of virtual computer networks,
in particular mechanisms for their automated creation. To that
end he developed a language for defining virtual networks that
is used both in the Xbone
and Dynabone projects.
He also has demonstrated that virtual networing can be applied
widely and generally to enable application domains, such as geographic
addressing and regional broadcast, that cannot be supported by
the current Internet (see the preliminary draft GeoNet).

Scalable System, an embeddable computer using MCM technology and
3-D packaging to demonstrate a compute density of 100 GFlops per
cubic foot and the GUMPS Brick, a hand-held wireless computing
node with modular capability.
Dr. Granacki’s
current research is focused on the architecture of embedded systems
for computing and communication. His research group are working
on creating hybrid architectures that can perform efficiently
under different computing paradigms. For example, on the DARPA
funded MONARCH Project,
they have developed two new concepts: Data Flow In Memory (DFIM)
and SPIM (Standalone Processor In Memory) that can be implemented
as a single machine that runs efficiently for both streaming applications
and conventional applications that run under threaded control.
He is also exploring biologically-inspired architectures including
advanced Dynamic Synapse Neural Networks with Dr. Ted Berger in
Biomedical Engineering. They are researching efficient VLSI implementations
for a wide-range of applications involving temporal-spatial pattern-recognition.
He is also interested in Design Automation, reaserch, specifically
at the system-level.
