Founder
Parallel computing consulting and software
- Subtractor -- A restructuring/optimizing data extraction tool and calculator
for weather and climate models and other gridded datasets.
User queries
are restructured and optimized for unindexed sequential record files
generated by terabyte scale climate simulations.
Optimized queries are executed using dynamic nested parallel regions
implemented using Pthreads.
- Hum -- Interactive gigapixel hyperspectral motion picture program.
Display latency is masked
using multi-threaded load-decompress-decode-display pipelines.
Speculative frame decoding is used to keep pipelines full,
and images are stored in a modified LRU cache.
- IOTA -- Input/Output Test Apparatus. A filesystem performance and correctness
test which implements a parallel-serial-parallel nested loop over files,
sequential I/O operations, and number of stripes per operation, respectively.
- HMV -- X-windows 2D slice viewer and processor for
model output viewing and relative debugging.

Senior Applications Analyst
Duties:
- Parallelization of user applications, system tools and runtime
- Design and implement new algorithms and tools for Tera/Cray and customers
- Work with customers to identify, prioritize, and communicate problems
Achievements and Projects:

|
Parallelization and Optimization
| |
- Parallelization of user codes ranging in size from 5 line benchmark loops
to 6 million line FORTRAN dusty decks. Applications include
climate, weather and ocean stand alone and coupled models,
image processing,
gas, fluid, solid, and electromagnetic dynamics,
scientific visualization, linear algebra,
and signal processing.
- Scalable, efficient graph problem solutions --
Worked on design and implementation of
linearly scalable parallel routines to solve for the shortest path and
connected components of a graph by exploiting both task and data parallelism.
- Parallel processing of record oriented files --
Re-factored programs
to afford parallel processing of multi-gigabyte formatted data files
by rewriting I/O as several parallel phases.
- Speedups in data consistency checks --
Achieved 1500-fold speedup in filesystem consistency tests
by moving dependencies in a linked list data structure
out of a loop and parallelizing updates to a large bit vector.
