Mission
- analyze the needs of EPFL and UNIL (University of Lausanne) applications on large scale machines- optimize and/or parallelize scientific applications (500+ speedups have been measured)
- advise scientists with best practices in HPC programming
- find new researchers who wants to obtain a jump of scale with their simulations
- connect people from different fields with different skills for common projects (ex: I managed a CS student for a Master project in computational mechanics with experts in this domain)
- manage the time sharing of the 15+ production projects on the centers IBM BG/Q supercomputer
- share HPC application analysis and energy efficiency expertise for EPFL central resources acquisitions
- in-service formation with bleeding edge and up-to-date HPC technologies
Biography
Vincent Keller is a computer scientist born in 1975 in Lausanne, Switzerland. He received his Master degree in Computer Science from the University of Geneva (Switzerland) in 2004. From 2004 to 2005, he holds a full-time researcher position at the University Hospital of Geneva (HUG). He was involved at HUG on simulating blood flows in cerebral aneurysms using real geometries constructed from 3D X-rays tomography slices. The numerical method used was Lattice-Boltzman Method (LBM). He received his PhD degree in 2008 from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in the HPCN and HPC Grids fields. His supervisor was Dr. Ralf Gruber. He developed a low-level application-oriented monitoring system (VAMOS) and the Resource Broker of the ïanos (Intelligent ApplicatioN-Oriented System) framework prototype. In 2009, he holds a full-time researcher position at Fraunhofer SCAI (University of Bonn) in Germany. He was the Scientific Coordinator of the IANOS project. In 2010, he was application analyst in the IT service at University of Zürich. Since September 2010, he is application analyst in the Center for Advanced Modeling Science (CADMOS) for the EPFL&University of Lausanne projects. Dr. Vincent Keller is the author or coauthor of more than 30 peer-reviewed papers and one book (HPC@GreenIT, Springer Verlag, Heidelberg, Germany, October 2009). His research interests are in HPC applications analysis, Grid and cluster computing and energy efficiency of large computing ecosystems.Publications
