Daniel Chavarria
Graduate Student, Computer Science
Rice University
Currently working on optimizing generated code for HPF applications.
Summer 2000: Intern at Los Alamos National Laboratory's Advanced
Computing Laboratory (ACL) . Worked on extending the SMARTS runtime
system for parallel computing, to use it for non-numeric algorithms
and mixed-mode applications (shared memory and message passing) (work
done with Dr. Suvas Vajracharya). I also implemented a C++ class for
launching applications securely on a Linux compute cluster, using
the SSH protocol (work done with Ronald Minnich).
1999-2000: Worked with Dr. John Mellor-Crummey and Dr. Vikram Adve
on the implementation of multipartitioning within Rice's dHPF compiler.
1997-1998: Worked with Dr. David Garza on the implementation of
a novel data partitioning technique, called "Snake Partitioning"
within a loop restructuring tool we implemented at ITESM.
