Award

Best Paper Award 9th ACM International Conference on Supercomputing, ACM Press, July, 1995.

My research interest is in the area of programming languages and performance issues in parallel and distributed systems. Recently, I have been studying techniques to detect and eliminate performance bottlenecks in Distributed Shared-Memory Systems. I have combined the Paradyn Performance Tool with Blizzard of the Wisconsin Wind Tunnel on both the Thinking Machine CM-5 and the Cluster of Workstations (COW).
