Professional Interests
Dr. Johnson's technical area of interest for the past forty years has been and
is high performance computing. His work covers a large range of the high
performance computing area: from OS microkernels, parallel file systems,
and code optimization, to simultaneous computational-visual animation, to
classical numerical analysis, to application oriented studies.
His published research involves design of parallel file systems, operating
system components, and monitoring/instrumentation of high performance
applications. For many years, he
has worked with the geophysical research community on implementing advanced
seismic applications on high performance machines including systems aspects
of I/O, algorithm design and analysis, and ground-truth verification of
computational models.
