My name is Leo Stutzmann, and I am an Architect at Platform Computing. I am in the research group, and tend to look at things related to the developer. That means tools, compilers, coding methods, etc within the area of High Performance Computing.

One area, I am looking at is: Multi-Core and GPU issues. This may expand into other co-processors. Another area is Parallel programming languages, Models, and Tools. These areas loosely correspond to 2 areas identified in Khalid's wonderful summary here:

Research Topics in HPC - HPC Community - High Performance Computing (HPC) Community

A lot of what you'll see, will be thoughts, examples, tests, performance numbers, etc. I will usually work with single system hardware I have, or machines I can get my hands on. I will try to stick to common hardware, so you can try these things yourself, and see if some of these technologies benefit your own programming.

cheers for now,
Leo
