Current Research
I am currently working on three projects related to compute and memory acceleration: 1) Updates to
our OpenStack cluster that will support temperature- and power-based measurements for
nodes that also include GPU accelerators. 2) An initial investigation of next-generation
programming models and runtimes, such as OpenACC and OpenMP 4.0. with researchers from
ORNL 3) Algorithm support for programmable compute devices like FPGAs and high-bandwidth
memories. This last project is joint with Dr. Vuduc, and is related to underlying compute
architecture and software being done by students from Dr. Yalamanchili and Dr. Hyesoon Kim's
groups.
I recently finished my PhD proposal and am now working on the last part of my thesis, a project called Oncilla.
This work is focused on using Global Address Spaces (GAS) to enable high-performance
data movement between host memory (DRAM) and accelerator memory (GPUs). The target application
is a data warehousing workload, TPC-H, that is the focus of GPU-related research with the Red
Fox compiler framework. For more information please click the link above or check the sidebar.
I finished my Master's thesis in Fall 2008
and have a related paper and presentation posted here.
