Methods and Tools for Performance Modeling, Measurement, Analysis, Evaluation, and Prediction

This NASA Postdoctoral Program fellowship opportunity focuses on developing and evaluating methodologies for generating performance models for algorithms and applications running on high-performance computer platforms. High-performance computing is an enabling technology for progress in Information Technology, and ultrafast computing systems are anticipated to be a key technology for a variety of NASA missions, including aeronautics, climate modeling, astrophysics, planetary exploration, and human space flight. The research will involve evaluating performance-sensitive components in HPC systems and predicting performance when changing problem or system parameters, and when porting to different platforms. The NASA Postdoctoral Program offers unique research opportunities to highly-talented scientists to engage in ongoing NASA research projects at NASA Centers, NASA Headquarters, or at NASA-affiliated research institutes. These one- to three-year competitive fellowships are designed to advance NASA's missions in space science, Earth science, aeronautics, space operations, exploration systems, and astrobiology.
