Spring 2008

Past Class and Student Projects

• Hierarchical balancing and others in the Zoltan Toolkit at Sandia National Laboratories.
• Resource-aware balancing in the Dynamic Resource Utilization Model (DRUM).
• zoltanParams, a parameter parsing library for Zoltan.
• The Parallel Mesh Database (PMDB).
• PMDBtool, a tool to help use PMDB.

• I presented a minisymposium talk at the 9th U.S. Congress on Computational Mechanics in San Francisco in July 2007.

• I presented, along with my thesis student from 2005-06 at Williams College, Travis Vachon, work on load balancing of virtualized operating systems at the IASTED Parallel and Distributed Computing and Networks Conference (PDCN 2007) in Innsbruck, Austria, in February 2007.

I gave a talk and organized a minisymposium "Tools for High-Performance Scientific Computation in Cluster Environments" at the SIAM Conference on Parallel Processing for Scientific Computing in San Francisco in February 2006.

I was co-chair of and a speaker in the minisymposium on "Resource-Aware Parallel Computation" held at the SIAM Conference on Computational Science and Engineering in Orlando in February 2005.

I was co-chair of the minisymposium on "Architecture-Aware Parallel Computation" held at the Eleventh SIAM Conference on Parallel Processing for Scientific Computing in San Francisco in February 2004. A paper highlighting the work presented in this minisymposium was also submitted for inclusion in the conference proceedings.
