Richard F. Barrett Senior Research and Development Staff Member in the Application Performance Tools group Computer Science and Mathematics Division Oak Ridge National Laboratory Contact information; (lab internal here)

My interests span several areas required for creating effective scientific applications on current and future highest performance computing platforms. Of special interest are the use of programming models and languages, such as explicit message passing, partitioned global address space languages, and developing languages such as those in the DARPA High Productivity Computer Systems Program; code development tools; performance modeling, analysis, and optimization; computer architectures; inter-process communication mechanisms; the solution of large scale linear systems; and the bridge between research and production computing.
