Currently I'm working as a Research Assistant Professor at the Innovative Computing Laboratory at University of Tennessee, Knoxville. I can be joined at 865-974-9375 or in person in my office (Claxton 316).





Research Topics

Fault Tolerant HPC Systems

ULFM - User Level Failure Mitigation is a set of MPI interface extensions enabling Message Passing programs to restore MPI communication capabilies affected by process failures. It supports rebuilding communicators, RMA windows and I/O Files. No particular recovery model is imposed or favored, instead a set of versatile APIs is included that provides support for differente recovery styles. The application directs the recovery, so it can pay for the cost of repairing only the necessary MPI objects. The ULFM specification is a crucial infrastructure to enable the deployment of advanced, production quality fault toleant techniques; it is a versatile solution to improve the efficiency of novel and established fault tolerant techniques. Look at the flyer.

MPICH-V is a research effort with theoretical studies, experimental evaluations and pragmatic implementations aiming to provide a MPI implementation based on MPICH, featuring multiple fault tolerant protocols. MPICH-V provides automatic fault tolerant MPI library (i.e. a totaly unchanged application linked with the mpich-v library is a fault tolerant application).

Dataflow Execution Model for HPC

PaRSEC - Parallel Runtime Scheduling and Execution Controller - is a generic framework for architecture aware scheduling and management of micro-tasks on distributed many-core heterogeneous architectures. Applications we consider can be expressed as a Direct Acyclic Graph of tasks with labeled edges designating data dependencies. DAGs are represented in a compact problem-size independent format that can be queried on-demand to discover data dependencies in a totally distributed fashion. PaRSEC assigns computation threads to the cores, overlaps communications and computations and uses a dynamic, fully-distributed scheduler based on architectural features such as NUMA nodes and algorithmic features such as data reuse. The framework includes libraries, a runtime system, and development tools to help application developers tackle the difficult task of porting their applications to highly heterogeneous and diverse environment. PaRSEC is the underlying infrastructure for the DPLASMA distributed memory, tile algorithm based linear algebra package.
