His current role involves exploring heterogeneous and distributed compute models and new visualization approaches to performance tuning/debugging. He is the architect of the Graph Analyzer Framework and the Flow Graph Analyzer tool that introduces visual parallel programming and performance analyzis of data and control flow graphs. Vasanth began his career at Intel in 1997 as an engineer where he researched threading behavior and performance and worked with early adopters in Wall Street to enable them for multi-processor architectures. He has also been involved in the development of automatic semantic event detectors for digital sports technologies in Intel Labs. Prior to joining Intel, he was involved in the development of automated fuzzy pattern recognition algorithms for NASA’s Mission to Planet Earth Program.
