During my undergraduate and graduate career I took a very pro-active approach to exploring research oppurtunities within UMD. This allowed me to work on interesting projects and build up my writing & presentation skills. Listed below is the complete collection of papers I either authored or co-authored during college.
- Thesis: Aspects of Communication Subsystem Analysis for Distributed Scientific Applications
- My thesis culminates my graduate work at UMD over the span of two years. There are a variety of results presented within so please examine the abstract to see if it interests you.
- MSI 2004/72: An Experimental Study of Communication Overhead for a Parallel Iterative Linear System Solver in Cluster Environments
- This paper discusses some attempts to reduce the parallel communication overhead in pARMS. We also demonstrate how the performance can be enhanced by strategically mapping the application to a given cluster.
- IPDPS 2004: Packet Probing as Network Load Detection for Scientific Applications at Run-time
- This is a version of MSI-2003/160 that is to be published in the proceedings of IPDPS 2004. It is essentially a 10 page version of the technical report with some small updates.
- HeteroPar '03: Packet Probing for Network-aware Scientific Applications in Cluster Environments
- This paper was accepted for presentation at the HeteroPar 2003 conference. It outlines my initial work with packet probing and will most likely form the basis for my thesis, which is due in the spring of 2004. Unfortunately we are unable to attend the conference (as it's in Poland) so it will not be published.
