Expert Details

Parallel and Distributed Algorithms and Architectures, Massive Multithreading, Multicore and MultiGPU Algorithms

ID: 728499 California, USA

Request Expert

Expert is a pioneering researcher in the fields of parallel and multicore processing. His involvement in this field started with his work on parallel algorithms and architectures at NASA’s Institute for Computer Applications at Langley Research Center from 1978—1998. During this period he worked on various large parallel supercomputers and developed and analyzed algorithms for these machines. During the period 1998 to 2017 he was involved with the massively multithreaded Cray MTA/XMT family of computers for which he developed and implemented several innovative algorithms for various applications.

After around 2000, the emphasis in parallel computing shifted from large, custom-made supercomputers to multicore machines based on commodity processors. Expert’s parallel processing expertise was directly applicable to these multicores, and he worked on several projects involving such machines. A complicating factor that arises with commodity multicore machines is the deleterious impact of cache coherency, which Expert analyzed in his research.

At the current time he is developing multicore/multiGPU algorithms on commodity multiprocessors
and is analyzing the performance of these algorithms with respect to cache overheads and interprocessor communications.
