My interests span several areas required for creating effective scientific applications on current and future highest performance computing platforms. Of special interest are the use of programming models and languages, such as explicit message passing, partitioned global address space languages, and developing languages such as those in the DARPA High Productivity Computer Systems Program; code development tools; performance modeling, analysis, and optimization; computer architectures; inter-process communication mechanisms; the solution of large scale linear systems; and the bridge between research and production computing.

My Course of Life

On February 9, 2007, I was interviewed, via email, regarding my experiences and thoughtswith the DARPA HPCS languages effort. The article appeared in the hardcopy version of ComputerWorld magazine dated March 12, 2007; an electronic version appeared on the same day on LinuxWorld. A complete copy of my interview can be found here.
