There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Rich Vuduc (CSE) has received an NSF CAREER Award for his work in tuning software to run on parallel systems.
Software engineers long have "tuned" existing programs to run on more parallel systems, but the work is laborious and very time consuming. Vuduc, assistant professor in the School of Computational Science and Engineering, develops ways to perform this work automatically, hence "autotuning." He received the CAREER award for his proposal, "Autotuning Foundations for Exascale Systems."
"The major research goal is to study the major parallel programming and performance tuning problems that arise on these very large systems, which are projected to have many millions of processing cores," Vuduc said. "We hope to discover new techniques for overcoming these problems, and plan to work on them with collaborators at Intel, among other places."
