Research
Patrick's job is primarily teaching. While he remains
interested in the following topics, he is no longer conducting
active research in these areas.
Patrick's research interests are in HPC export controls,
heterogeneous computing, operating systems,
scientific computing, and K-12 computing. He has been the primary
architect of the
Schooner Interconnection System, a tool to facilitate the construction of
scientific applications from heterogeneous resources.
Schooner has been used
in a number of collaborations. These include:
- Support for the Numerical Propulsion System Simulation
(NPSS)
Project, managed through
NASA Glenn Research Center.
Schooner has been used in a prototype simulation
environment, and is currently in use on a prototype zooming project.
The zooming project includes researchers at the
U. of Toledo and
Cleveland State U.
- An eco-system modelling project at the U. of Arizona with researchers in
the
Electrical and Computer Engineering
Department and the
School of Renewable Natural Resources.
Sy Goodman

- Dept. of Defense --
Deputy Assistant
Secretary of Defense for Counterproliferation Policy, and
- Dept. of Commerce --
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Export Administration
concerning trends in HPC technology development and HPC national security
applications, and their impact on the HPC export control regime.
