High Performance and Productivity Computing Systems for space weather research. This is joint work with colleagues in the Physics Department at NJIT (the space weather part) and the CS Department (the image processing part). Research is supported by NSF ITR grant (Sep 1, 2003- Aug 31, 2007) IIS-0324816 in which i serve as a Co-Principal Investigator .
Parallel Algorithms in Finance Design and implement parallel algorithms for finance-based problems such as option price valuations on binomial and trinomial trees either directly or using finite difference methods (explicit and implicit). Design algorithms in an architecture independent way and suited for high-latency systems such as PC clusters. This research was partially supported by NSF/MRI grant NSF EIA-9977508 that run from Sep 1, 1999 through Aug 31, 2003, in which i served as a Co-Principal Investigator.
Latency Tolerant algorithms for matrix computations Design and implement latency tolerant algorithms for dense and sparse matrix computations and FFT problems. This was also partially supported by NSF/MRI grant NSF EIA-9977508.
Internal and External Memory Sorting Design, analyze and examine parallel performance of deterministic and randomized sorting algorithms on cluster of SMP workstations.
Parallel Algorithms for Proximity Searching in large texts and GIS systems. Joint work with M. Marin (U. de Magallanes, Chile).
In the past three years I have been involved in architecture independent design, analysis and implementation of parallel algorithms on a cluster of PC workstations that has been set up at the CS Department at NJIT under the support of NFS under Grant MRI NSF EIA-9977508 and SBR grant 421350.
Information about the PC cluster lab, research results obtained, and publically available source code can be obtained through the links below.
PC Cluster Laboratory (CS Department) The laboratory was established with support from NSF MRI EIA-9977508 Grant and matching funds from NJIT, as well as support from grant SBR 421350. This link is under construction and updated frequently.
General Software Code that is being used in published or submitted papers.
Parallel Software Code Building architecture independent and parallel library independent parallel code. The introduced algorithms are designed and analyzed in an architecture independent way under the Bulk-Synchronous Parallel (BSP) model of computation. In order to support and verify the theoretical results we implement many of the parallel algorithms using various communication libraries. The parallel codes we have been developing can be run under LAMMPI and BSPlib. Only recompilation of the same source is required for our code to run on one or the other library. This communication library portability comes at no significant cost as attested by the comparable and high performance of the implemented algorithms.
