High Performance Computing

Performance Analysis and Optimization for Parallel Applications

Performance Evaluation

Heterogeneous Computing (GPU, APU, MIC, etc.)

Cloud Computing

Research Status

My research interests include high performance computing, performance evaluation, compiler, heterogeneous computing, and cloud computing.

I have published more than 40 papers in prestigious refereed conferences and top journals including SC, PPOPP, ASPLOS, ICS, ATC, MICRO, IEEE TPDS, and IEEE TC. My research received a Best Paper Finalist at SC’14. I am the advisor of Tsinghua Student Cluster Team. Our team has achieved 8 international champions in student supercomputing challenges at SC, ISC, and ASC. In 2015 and 2018, our team swept all three champions at SC, ISC, and ASC. I was a program co-chair of NPC 2018 and a program co-chair of ICPP PASA 2015 workshop. I served or am now serving TPC member of SC, ICS, PPOPP, ICPP, NAS, LCPC, and Euro-Par. I am currently on the editorial board of IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems.
