My primary research interests are in parallel computation, high-end computing and
computational science.
Current topics of interest include distributed shared memory systems,
algorithms and tools for improving utilization
and throughput on parallel systems via dynamically re-sizable (malleable) parallel computations,
and algorithms and tools for improving the performance
of large-scale computational ensemble computations and sparse linear-algebra
kernels.
Other topics of recent and possible 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.
