Experience
11/2003 – present, Graduate Researcher, San Diego Supercomputer Center
Large-Scale Parallel Earthquake Simulation (Fortran, C / Linux)
Developed a parallel earthquake simulation using MPI parallel programming, which runs on up to 2048 computer nodes, and generates over 50T scientific data
Used MPI I/O facilities to provide high storage performance on multi-processors
Data Management and Web Service for SRB Digital Library (PHP,Perl, Shell,C / Solaris)
Developed web query interface to access large scale earthquake database
Managed large data sets (>100TB) in distributed digital library enabled by Storage Resource Broker (SRB)
Designed and implemented metadata management tool for SRB, which is able to automatically create, add, update, delete and display SRB metadata associated to files or directories.
9/2000 – present, Research Assistant, University of California, San Diego
Performance Driven Low Power Network-on-Chip Design (Ph.D. Thesis, C++ / Linux)
Designed and implemented multicommodity flow models to improve communication power and latency of Network-on-Chip by 36-52%
Designed and implemented approximation algorithms and optimizations to efficiently solve large-scale multicommodity flow models
Dynamic Optimizer Design for VLIW Architecture ( C++ / Linux)
Designed and implemented an optimizer that dynamically optimizes loop instructions through software pipelining. Achieved an average of 12-16% speedup on a set of SPEC2000 benchmarks.
06/2003 – 09/2003, Intern, Programming Systems Lab, Intel Corp.
Compiler Automatic Parallelization Optimization (C++ / Linux)
Analyzed and tested the auto parallelization optimizations in Intel’s Open Research Compiler, including software pipelining, interprocedural analysis, etc.
09/1998 – 06/2000, Research Assistant, Tsinghua University, China
Integrated Configuration Software Development (Visual C++ / Windows)
Developed integrated configuration software in distributed control systems. Applied object-oriented methods to system design to achieve adaptability and reusability.
