Dr Matthew Grove
I have left academia to work for a green computing startup. I am finishing the colaborations I worked on at VT in my spare time. I was a research scientist within the SCAPE Lab in the Computer Science department at Virginia Tech. In parallel with that position I was a visiting research fellow within ACET which is part of the School of Systems Engineering at Reading University in the UK.
Current Activities
DCT-NUMA. Optimal thread placement strategies for Non-Uniform-Memory-Architecture systems.
IO-Speed-Up. Investigating the effects of power management on workload performance at the kernel and micro benchmark level. Exploiting side effects of power management to improve IO performance.
Previous Work
Teaching. Fall 2011, CS4234 Parallel Computation
Iso-energy-efficiency. Scalable system power-performance modeling.
Teaching. Fall 2010, CS4234 Parallel Computation
Teaching. Spring 2008, SEMS25 Web Services MSc
Virtual Research Environment for Archaeology (VERA). This project's goal was to produce a fully-fledged virtual research environment for the archaeological community. VERA was a two year project funded by the JISC as part of phase 2 of the Virtual Research Environments programme (project website).
Teaching. Spring 2007, SEMS25 Web Services MSc
Reading Environmental Sensor Network (RESN). RESN was a collaborative project between Computer Science and Soil Science departments of the University of Reading to provide a permanent public demonstrator for Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) technologies (project website).
Tycho. A resource discovery framework and messaging system for distributed applications, originally created during the pursuit of my Ph.D at the University of Portsmouth. I actively developed it during my time at the University of Reading and I still continue to guide other researchers who now work on it (project website).
OGSA Testbed. A one-year project funded by EPSRC via the e-Science programme. The objective of the project was to install and test the middleware based on the Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA), and then deploy a number of applications on the testbed. OGSA was Globus Toolkit version 3 (project website).
