NIKOS CHRISOCHOIDES; Nikos Chrisochoides; Ph.D. Computer Sciences Department , Purdue University , 1992.;Dr. Chrisochoides' work has touched many facets of parallel and distributed;computing. His work includes (i) research on parallel runtime support and back-end systems for parallel compilers and problem solving environments for;multicomputers, (ii) parallel algorithms for scheduling, load balancing,;and data distribution for adaptive computations. He co-designed and;implemented many key software components of a well-known simulation;environment, Parallel ELLPACK .; Current Projects; AMR Workshop; Bernoulli Project; PREMA: Portable Runtime Environment for Multicomputer Architecures; Computational Sensitive Messages; Dynamic Load Balancing; Grid Generation Project at Cornell; Binary Black Holes Grand Challenge; Parallel ELLPACK; Student Projects (other Masters of Engineering Projects ); Students; Florian Sukup (Ph.D); Kodukula Induprakas (Ph.D, with K.
