Kai Li Princeton UniversityBuilding and Using A Scalable Display Wall
November 10, 2000
While most computer technology has been moving on the curve
of Moore's law, the display resolution has been improving only
at the rate of about 5% per year during the past two decades.
The Princeton
Scalable Display Wall project explores how to build and use
a large-format high-resolution, display with multiple commodity
components. Our goal is to construct a collaborative space that
fully utilizes a large-format display, immersive sound, and natural
user interfaces. This talk gives an overview of the project
and describes the research challenges in building the display
wall, and our experiences in using the display wall.

Kai Li is a
professor at the Computer Science Department of Princeton University.
His research interests include operating systems, computer architecture,
distributed systems, and scalable display systems. He has led
several research projects at Princeton including the Shared Virtual
Memory project which is a follow-on project to his initial creation
of the concept of software distributed shared memory in his Ph.D.
thesis, the Scalable I/O project which is a multi-institutional
effort to attack I/O bottleneck problems for supercomputers,
the Scalable High-performance Really Inexpensive MultiProcessor
(SHRIMP) project which investigates how to build high-performance
servers, and the Scalable Display Wall project which explores
how to build and use a high-resolution, large-scale collaborative
environment where users can communicate across space and time.
He joined Princeton after receiving his Ph.D. degree from Yale
University In 1986. Prior to that, he received his B.S. degree
from Jilin University in China and M.S. degree from University
of Science and Technology of China, Academy of Sciences of China,
respectively. He was elected to become an ACM fellow in 1998.
