Advisor: David Lowenthal


I am a 2nd year Ph.D. student working with David Lowenthal. My research focuses on power and performance of high performance computing (HPC) applications and systems.

My current project is to create or extend an operating system that can leverage the architectural features of modern processors in order to improve application performance. I am currently investigating a run-time system that leverages opportunistic processor performance, such as Intel's Turbo, to improve the performance of highly parallel applications.
