Our paper is nominated for Best Paper and Best Student Paper at Supercomputing'19

Our paper on inter-thread communication detection is accepted for publication at a major high performance computing conference, Supercomputing 2019. It is also nominated for both the best paper and best student paper. Congrats to the parcorelab members Aditya, Palwisha and our collaborator Milind at Uber. Moreover, Dr. Unat gave a talk on the project at ISC High Performance 2019 held in Frankfurt (see the photo). 

 

Dr. Unat received BAGEP award

Dr. Unat was awared the Science Academy Young Scientist Award (BAGEP) this year. The award ceremony took place in Hacettepe University on April 26th,  2019. Here is a picture from the ceremony while receiving the award with her dear son, Poyraz.

Dr. Unat has received new TUBITAK research grant.

Dr. Unat is awarded a new grant from TUBITAK 1001 program. The project will be focusing on the effortless parallelization of deep learning frameworks.

Congrats to Nufail for his Supercomputing 2018 (SC'18) paper 

Our paper titled "Phase Asynchronous AMR Execution for Productive and Performant Astrophysical Flows" has been accepted to appear at the prestiguous Supercomputing Conference held in Nov 2018 in Dallas, USA. Congrats to Nufail for this major achievement.

A new paper on high bandwidth memory will be presented at SBAC-PAD

Congrats to Mohammad for his paper accepted for presentation at SBAC-PAD, which is held in Sept in Lyon, France. The paper proposes a dynamic object placement algorithm for the KNL chip equipped with high bandwidth memory and high capacity memory. 

Determinacy Race Detection work will be presented at a major HPC conference.

Congrats to Hassan for his paper accepted for presentation at Europar, which is held in August in Turin, Italy. The paper proposes Runtime Determinacy Race Detection for OpenMP Tasks.

Congrats to ParCoreLab members for graduating Summer 2018

Five of our lab members are graduating this summer. Nufail and Hassan are earning their PhDs. Burak, Mohammad and Pirah are receiving their MS degrees.  Hassan will be joining ASML, the Advanced Semiconductor Materials International in Holland, Pirah is moving to Chalmers University, Sweden for pursuing her PhD, Mohammad is moving to Virgnia Tech, USA for pursuing his PhD. Congrats to ALL.
