Bio
I am an associate professor at Telecom SudParis in the Parallel & Distributed Systems group since 2010. Previously, I spent one year as a postdoc in the Joint Laboratory of Petascale Computing of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I did my PhD thesis within the INRIA Runtime team of LaBRI (University of Bordeaux, France) under the direction of Raymond Namyst and defended it in December 2008.
Initially, my primary research interests are in high performance computing in the cluster architecture landscape. More particularly, my work is organized around high performance communication, high speed network exploitation, design of dynamic optimized communication scheduling from generic algorithms and current high performance communication libraries such as MPI implementations. Then, I focused my research on compilers for a while in order to automatically transform parallel program in distributed ones with the ambition to enhance their scalability. More recently, I have been interested in a transversal project with biologists and physicians that deals with the increase of accurate data generation and their analysis in order to help biologists to answer fundamental questions. In this context, my interests are right now focused on AI runtimes optimization in order to treat pretty large histological sections on parallel frugal hardware.
