Research Interests:
High-performance computing and communication systems, power
aware systems, computer architecture, high-performance I/O
systems and software and their applications in many domains
including information processing (e.g., data mining, CRM, BI)
and scientific computing (e.g., scientific discoveries).
Furthermore, his interests lie in the design and evaluation of
architectures and software systems (from system software such
as runtime systems to compilers), high-performance servers,
high-performance databases and input-output and software
protection/security.
