Research

My research is in the broad area of distributed systems and high performance computing. My particular interest lies in supporting multi-platform applications at the middleware and systems-levels. The context for my work has been Grid, Cloud, Exascale platforms with a focus on techniques to achieve performance and reliability. A common theme in my work is the core Computer Science problem of scheduling. This research is enabled by a wide-set of collaborators: NSF I/UCRC: Cloud Storage, ePCRN: Middleware for distributed clinical trials, DPA: Distributed programming abstractions, and the DCSG: Cloud Systems. I am affiliated with the Minnesota Supercomputing Institute (MSI) and the Digital Technology Center (DTC).
Publications are here.

Please submit a paper to HPDC 2011 co-located with ACM FRC. It is our 20th anniversary and you may also want to nominate a best paper for a special 20 year anniversary proceedings. See here for details of the conference and nominations.
