Scholarly Accomplishments


Publications

Acceptance rates are reported for venues when available. Citations represent the non-self citations determined by the web service Google Scholar (based on an incomplete online search) and are reported for ten or more citations. The true number of citations may be higher since Google Scholar appears to not have access to the ACM and IEEE publication databases and since Google Scholar removes references that cannot be found online anymore after some time (implying that citation counts can not only go up but also down over time).

Research Project Record

Ongoing Research Activities

  1. RESYST: Resilience via Synergistic Redundancy and Fault Tolerance for High-End Computing. PI, funded by NSF at $376,219 from 10/10 to 9/13, no-cost extensions to 9/16.

    The objective of this work to the develop a synergistic approach by combining C/R-based fault tolerance with redundancy in HEC installations to achieve high levels of resilience.

  2. SHF: Small: Scalable Trace-Based Tools for In-Situ Data Analysis of HPC Applications (ScalaJack). PI, funded by NSF at $457,395 from 6/12 to 5/15, no-cost extensions to 5/17.

    This work creates a framework that allows application developers to focus on data analysis that drives customized data extraction combined with on-the-fly analysis specifically geared to their individual problems.

  3. CPS: Breakthrough: Collaborative Research: Bringing the Multicore Revolution to Safety-Critical Cyber-Physical Systems. co-PI, funded by NSF at $225,000 from 2/13 to 1/16 (full funding at a total of $675,000 with James Anderson, UNC Chapel Hill), no-cost extensions to 1/17.

    This research aims at resolving this multicore ``predictability problem.'' It will develop methods that enable to share hardware resources to be allocated and provide predictability, including support for real-time operating systems, middleware, and associated analysis tools.

  4. Resilience for Global Address Spaces, PI, funded by DOE/LBNL at $203,393 from 9/13-8/16.

    The objective is to develop and integrate into Global Address Spaces a set of advanced techniques to reduce the checkpoint/restart (C/R) overhead.

  5. Hobbes: OS and Runtime Support for Application Composition, co-PI, funded by DOE/SNL/ORNL at $300,000 from 10/13-10/16 with PI Ron Brightwell and other co-PIs.

    The objective is to develop resilience methods for the operating and runtime system stack for future exascale platforms.

  6. CPS: Synergy: Collaborative Research: Distributed Asynchronous Algorithms and Software Systems for Wide-Area Monitoring of Power Systems, co-PI, funded by NSF at $400,000 from 10/13-9/16, PI Aranya Chakrabortty (NCSU), co-PIs Rakesh B Bobba (UIUC), Nitin Vaidya (UIUC), Yufeng Xin (RENCI ).

    The objective of this NSF-CPS Synergy proposal is to develop a distributed algorithmic framework, supported by a highly fault-tolerant software system, for executing critical transmission-level operations of the North American power grid using gigantic volumes of Synchrophasor data.

  7. Improving Memory Performance on Fused Architectures through Compiler and Runtime Innovations, co-PI, funded by NSF at $470,000 from 8/15-7/18, PI Xipeng Shen (NCSU).

    The objective of this work is to understand these novel implications of fused architectures by studying their effects, qualifying their causes and quantifying the impacts on performance and energy efficiency. We propose to advance the state-of-the-art by creating spheres of isolation between CPU and GPU execution via novel systems mechanisms and compiler transformations that reduce cross-boundary contention with respect to shared hardware resources. This synergy between systems and compiler techniques has the potential to significantly improve performance and power guarantees for co-scheduling program fragments on fused architectures.
