John Mellor-Crummey
Professor in Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering
Software Technology for High Performance Computing, including performance analysis, performance modeling, parallelizing compilers, programming tools, and applications of high-performance computing to science, engineering, and medicine.
John Mellor-Crummey's research focuses on software technology for high performance computing with a particular emphasis on parallel computing. His current work includes data-parallel compiler technology, compiler and run-time technology for high performance scientific computing, tools for application performance analysis, compiler technology for domain-specific languages, and techniques for application performance modeling. Past work has included developing techniques for execution replay of parallel programs, efficient software synchronization algorithms for shared-memory multiprocessors and techniques for efficiently detecting data races in executions of shared-memory programs.
