Hayato Yamaki, Assistant Professor, Department of Computer and Network Engineering.

Hayato Yamaki is conducting research on the internet, mainly among routers. Recently, the internet is being used for applications such as IoT, Machine-to-Machine, and cloud services. However, this has led to various problems. For example, the massive increase in the amount of information traffic has led to the problem that enough security functions cannot be secured for communication using devices with low computing power such as IoT.

In response to these problems, Yamaki is developing routers for next-generation networks. that possess intelligent controlling communications functions and the implementation of new packet processing functions.

In conventional routers, communication data "packets" are processed after the arrival of packets. However, in this research, it is possible to proceed with packet processing first by predicting the subsequent packets and their packet processing results and preparing them in advance.

This technology enables five times more throughput with only 15% of the power consumption of conventional systems.

These results were presented at these the Design Automation Conference (DAC), the top conference in this field.
