Summary of Research

My recent research interests mainly focus on three areas: parallel/distributed computing, software tool/environment development, and scientific computing. I and my colleagues in the High Performance and Software Lab are investigating several research and technical issues into performance evaluation and system support of heterogeneous networks of workstations (NOW). We concentrate on three problem areas: 1) developing performance metrics and providing insights into special natures of heterogeneous distributed computing; 2) providing system support to effectively manage heterogeneity and scheduling computation tasks across networks; 3) building software tool and environment to aid parallel and distributed computing and performance evaluation. Our studies on parallel systems also include several topics of shared-memory and data-parallel computing. Our system research is motivated and driven by our studies of large-scale scientific applications, such as numerical simulations, nonlinear optimizations and image processing.
