My main research focus is on very large systems, high-performance computers with many processors. These systems require clever scheduling and processor allocation to achieve their full potential and it's an area where clever ideas can make a huge difference in the performance of very expensive systems. Ideas from these systems are also beginning to trickle down to smaller computers, which are increasingly built around multi-core processors. Thus, an important goal of my teaching is to incorporate ideas of parallelism into my courses.
