My primary research interests are in high-end computing and computational science.
Current topics of interest include algorithms and tools for improving the performance
of large-scale computational ensemble computations, and for improving utilization
and throughput on clusters via dynamically re-sizable parallel computations.
Other topics of recent and probable future interest include numerical linear
algebra and mathematical software for PDES, grid computing (including
scheduling, load balancing, code composition frameworks, fault tolerance,
and resource-aware issues), and problem solving environments.
I serve as Associate Director of the Center for High-End Computing Systems
(CHECS).
One of the several labs that make up CHECS is the
Laboratory for Advanced Scientific Computing and Applications
LASCA; as part
of that lab I work with students and faculty colleagues on the interface between
high-end computing systems research and scientific computing applications
research.
I also chair the allocation committee for
System X
and help coordinate a team of graduate students who support application
development on that resource.
Note: I am not looking to supervise any new graduate students at this time.
