Research

I’ve been working in the High Performance Computing (HPC) research field since 2010. My Ph.D. focussed on I/O and Parallel File Systems, and since then I have worked in various areas of HPC.

My current research largely falls in to three categories:

Performance Analysis and Optimisation

• Performance modelling of applications
• Algorithmic optimisations of biological applications
• Algorithmic optimisations of physics applications
• Evaluation of novel programming models and architectures

Parallel File Systems and I/O

• Tracing and analysis of I/O in parallel applications
• Optimisation of I/O operations on parallel file systems
• Replication of sensitive I/O patterns in open environments

Energy-aware Computation

• Analysis and modelling of energy consumption for parallel applications
• Energy-aware optimisation of applications
