Dan's Titanium Page

I'm one of the primary compiler developers on the Titanium research project.

My work on Titanium has given me experience with many compiler-related issues:

Lightweight communication layers & networking protocols
- GASNet - portable, high-performance lightweight communication system
- AM-2-over-UDP
- AM-2-over-MPI
- AM-2, Via, GM, SHMEM
Parallel runtime systems, multi-threaded and distributed-memory
Synchronization
- Java monitors
- Efficient distributed sychronization
- Distributed barrier, broadcast
File I/O optimizations:
- Bulk I/O in Titanium
- Bulk I/O in Java
Compiler analysis/optimization:
- Method Inlining
- Array optimization
- Control-flow analysis
- Def-use analysis
- Copy propagation
- Dead-code elimination

Some machines I've worked on in our ongoing effort to expand the compiler to new platforms:

Berkeley Solaris NOW cluster
Berkeley Millennium cluster
A number of Linux x86 and Itanium clusters running Myrinet, Quadrics, Ethernet, Dolphin, Infiniband
Cray T3E
SGI Origin 2000
SGI Altix 3000
Tru64 Compaq AlphaServer
IBM SP2
IBM SPPower3/4

A recent lecture (PowerPoint) (PostScript) I gave on how to use Titanium (for Berkeley's graduate parallel computing class).
A Titanium tutorial I presented at IPDPS 03 (PowerPoint) (PDF) (this was part of a Tutorial on GAS languages - full tutorial: (PowerPoint) (PDF)).
