Research

My research experience is in the field of high-performance computing, targeting the efficient execution of parallel programs. Specifically, my research focuses on static and dynamic optimization techniques for high-performance execution of programs.

Currently I am coordinating the research group on Parallel Architectures, Programming and Compilers (PAPC). The main purpose of this group is seeking new developments to improve the program execution efficiency of high-performance processors and parallel computer systems.

Prior to this group, I worked on other topics, like dynamic loop scheduling for message-passing multicomputers, design of data-parallel and message-passing algorithms, design of data-parallel language (HPF) extensions to support sparse and irregular computations, vectorization of numerical algorithms, design of a data-parallel language (ACLAN) for computer simulation (ACLE), mapping codes on hypercube multicomputers, and design of broadcasting algorithms in computer networks.

I am a member of HiPEAC, the European Network of Escellence on High Performance and Embedded Architecture and Compilation, and a participating researcher of Euro-TM, an European Cost Action on Transactional Memories: Foundations, Algorithms, Tools, and Applications.
