ISEP/SoftCPS Researcher Mohammad Samadi concluded his doctoral studies with the thesis Mapping of Real-Time Computation to Parallel Platforms, supervised by Luis Miguel Pinho and Sara Royuela, at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, in the scope of a collaboration between ISEP/SoftCPS and the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre.
The thesis tackles the challenge of seeking system predictability without severely sacrificing performance in real-time parallel computing systems. In his work, Mohammad proposes static and dynamic OpenMP task-to-thread and task-to-accelerator mapping methods that exploit knowledge about the behaviour of predictable parallel applications, to bound (and reduce) application’s worst-case response times.
