Skills :

Instrumentation, Performance Profiling, C++, UNIX, Message Passing Interface,
High Performance C++, Tracing, Replay, Runtime Systems (Nexus, Tulip),
Tools for Parallel Languages.

Experience :

Graduate Research Assistant, July 97 - Oct. 97

Advanced Computing Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory

Developed the TAU Performance Profiling Package for C++. Developed the API for instrumentation of parallel applications. It uses SGI performance counters and supports templates in C++. Developed for ASCI Blue Mountain (SGI Origin 2000s) it provides a low overhead performance profiling layer. Profiled LANL frameworks such as POOMA (Parallel Object Oriented Methods and Applications), ACLMPL (Message Passing Library), ACLVIS (Visualization Frameworks), A++/P++ (Array libraries), PAWS (Parallel Application Workspace), Tecolote (Conejo ASCI code), MC++ etc.
Interests : Performance Profiling, Object Based Profiling, Profiling multithreaded applications in the presence of Optimization, Dynamic Instrumentation.

Graduate Research Assistant, April 95 - June 97, Oct. 97 - to date

Department of CIS, University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403

Developed the TAU Tracing system for POOMA to visualize traces with Vampir trace visualization tool.

Designed and Implemented Deterministic Replay for Tulip Runtime System used in pC++ and HPC++ languages. Integrated an event based debugger with a state based debugger. Designed a performance profiling system for High Performance C++ in the TAU tools environment. Worked as the project leader for the TAU project.

Graduate Teaching Assistant, Sept. 94 - April 95

Department of CIS, University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403

Worked as a teaching assistant for the Operating Systems course taught at UO and taught the Nachos OS simulator.

Systems Analyst, July 91 - Aug. 94

Tata Unisys Ltd., Seepz, Bombay 400 096, India

Developed tools and system software for U6000-PARAM, a parallel machine built at Center for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC, India). Developed a resource manager, a network based image processing package, a graphics package and a simulator for the Concurrent Runtime Environment under UNIX. Worked in the R&D group of the company and worked on the joint collaboration project with C-DAC.

Project Engineer, May 91 - June 91

VLSI Design Center, Department of Computer Science and Engineering,

Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, India

Worked on a circuit simulator package that used a sparse conjugate gradient linear equation solver.
