Background

Research Interests

  • Parallel Programming, C++, and MPI.
  • High Performance Computing (HPC).
  • I was part of the Invasive Computing project. Nowadays I focus on creating small libraries to facilitate the developement of invasive/elastic/malleable MPI applications.

Projects

I was part of the Invasive Computing project, where different tools were developed to enable MPI malleable applications. Nowadays I focus on creating libraries to faciliatte the developement of malleable applications (e.g., helping with data redistribution).

Teaching

Through the years I have been helping and/or in charge of several courses. In the last couple of years I have focused mainly in our Advanced Programming lecture (intended to introduce C++ to people), and bachelor and master seminars in HPC.

Open and Running Student Projects

Open Hiwi positions

There are currently no open positions.

Open student projects

Topics change (frequently) with my ongoing work and depend mostly on the interests and experience of the student. It is best to contact me directly if you are interested in a thesis or student project. Please include a short CV and a grade report, to easlily evaluate whether any topic might suit you.

Running student projects

  • Leonard Evers is doing a review of different data redistribution algorithms developed through the years. The temporary title of his bachelor thesis is "A review of data redistribution algorithms using block-cyclic distributions"
  • Chang-Gen Lai is developing a simulation to evaluate a data distribution library developed by us. The temporary title of his master thesis is "Performance evaluation of the Reshuffle data-redistribution library"
  • Tim Alexander Meyerhoff is comparing some elastic MPI implementations to determine how feasible is to work applications for them. The temporary title of his bachelor thesis is "A Comparison of Elastic MPI Implementations"
  • Thomas Beranek is doing an external master thesis titled "AI-Assisted Scheduling for ADAS Traffic Simulations"

  • Huaiwei Zhang implemented a molecular dynamics simulation code for a system developed during the invasive computing project. Find the thesis here

  • Radu Raicea further improved the molecular dynamic simulation code, enabling dynamic load balancing. Find the thesis here

  • Lukas Kirchmair migrated large portions of the C++ standard library to enable the compilation of LAMMPS in a system developed during the invasive computing project. Find the thesis here
