Welcome

The High Performance Computing Tools group (HPCTools) is a research group in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Houston. The group was created by Dr. Barbara Chapman who joined the department in the Spring of 1999. Our mission is to perform cutting-edge research in compiler and tools for High performance computing systems. We are also part of the OpenMP community and take part in the OpenMP ARB committees. Current research areas include:

  • Compilers and Tools: OpenUH compiler, Dragon Analysis Tool, OpenMP Validation Suite
  • Parallel Programming Models: Hybrid OpenMP/MPI, OpenMP, Global Arrays, Transactional Memory
  • COPPER Project
  • Performance Tuning Environments: Selective Instrumentation, Performance Monitoring, Bottleneck Analysis, Feedback-based Optimization
  • Compiler Optimization: Wide Area Privitization, Parallel Data Flow Analysis, Automatic OpenMP Generation, Cost Model-based Optimization
  • Grid Computing, Web Services, Scheduling Policy

Projects:
PModels 2 Project
HPCTools research group has joined the continuation of the successful project PModels currently named as PModels 2.

Darwin
Dynamic Adaptive Runtime Infrastructure - The Next Step in Program Language Implementation Technology

OpenUH Compiler:
HPC tools released the latest version of the OpenUH Compiler this year at Supercomputing 2007 in Reno, NV. The new release includes enhanced OpenMP 2.5 features, new functionality and bug fixes. Details of the release can be seen in the OpenUH website.

cOMPunity is the community of OpenMP researchers and developers in academia and industry. It is a forum for the dissemination and exchange of information about OpenMP. cOMPunity is also a forum for discussing our experiences with this programming API and for debating ideas that might improveit. Dr. Barbara Chapman is CEO of cOMPunity, which aims to enable research participation in the OpenMP standards activities and promotes interactions between vendors, researchers and users of this industry standard.
