RESERACH FOCUS

My primary research interests are in architecture, algorithms and applications of supercomputers.
I am studying the supercomputers' architectures with cellular networks, with a special interest in the interlaced bypass torus (iBT) network. The iBT network introduced a technique by strategically interlacing bypass rings to torus for generating more efficient grid-like interconnect than adding another dimension. I found many superior characteristics of the iBT network in terms of topological properties, collective operations and layouts in theory and through simulations.
I am also studying the task mapping technique for optimizing parallel programs on supercomputers. Specifically I devised an eigenanalysis-based task mapping theory with far superior convergence rate and quicker escape from local minima than the convensional graph theory.
Utilizing the supercomputers, I am developing a coarse-grained platelet model using arguments based on discrete/dissipative particle dynamics in the Micro/Nano scales.
Specifically I am conducting research in the following areas:
[1] Design and Analysis of Supercomputer Architectures
[2] Parallel Computing Algorithms
[3] Task Mapping and Scheduling for Parallel Computers with Cellular Networks
[4] Design and Implementation of Enterprise High-Utilization Grid Scheduler
[5] Modeling the Platelet Activation using Discrete Particle Dynamics in the Micro/Nano Scales
