Here's a list of my papers and publications, and here's my grants page.
Projects/software I've worked on
- I'm the lead architect and developer of ATLAS, a project that uses empirical timings to automatically tune the BLAS and parts of LAPACK to arbitrary machines.
- I'm the developer and maintainer of Extract, a software management tool.
- I was one of the core developers of ScaLAPACK, a library providing a subset of LAPACK routines redesigned for distributed memory MIMD parallel machines.
- I am the sole developer of the BLACS, the communication layer used by ScaLAPACK.
- I've thrown a routine or two at LAPACK, and chaired the "C interface to the legacy BLAS" session of the BLAST Forum.
