Orca Project Postdoc

这个奖项是为了支持博士后助理工作， 实验计算机科学 律师卡尔文·P·林， 将与劳伦斯·斯奈德博士一起研究便携式并行程序。 研究将集中在三个方面： 语言、并行算法和便携式科学 应用. 两种并行语言将基于 阶段抽象编程模型 该模型已经 已经被证明可以为两个共享的 和分布式存储器架构。 此外，重要 科学算法，如快速傅立叶变换，将 研究确定“算法的选择”，一个算法 这在大多数架构上都是最佳的，在所有架构上都是有竞争力的。 最后，将继续开发便携式 科学代码集中在大分子动力学 程序.

This award is to support a postdoctoral associate to work in experimental computer science. The associate, Calvin P. Lin, will work with Dr. Lawrence Snyder on portable parallel programs. The research will concentrate on three areas: parallel languages, parallel algorithms, and portable scientific applications. Two parallel languages will be developed based on the Phase Abstractions programming model. This model has already been shown to produce portable parallel programs for both shared and distributed memory architectures. Additionally, important scientific algorithms, such as the Fast Fourier Transform, will be studied to identify the "algorithm of choice", an algorithm that is optimal on most architectures and competitive on all. Finally, work will continue on the development of portable scientific codes concentrating on a large molecular dynamics program.
