Abstract

In this talk I will describe the research results obtained in the
last decade by the "High-Performance Parallel Programming Research Group"
at the University of Pisa. The keypoint of the research has been based
on structured parallel programming (e.g. algorithmic skeletons),
which has been used to: derive innovative and optimized checkpointing
and rollback recovery techniques; introduce dynamicity mechanisms in
parallel application support, allowing their fast re-configuration;
introduce adaptivity strategies to support complex High-Performance
applications on pervasive grids. In the talk I will describe the
hypotheses on which these research work are based, and I will show how
these are used to derive the mentioned results.

Bio

Carlo Bertolli has published research papers in the context of high-
performance parallel programming, related to fault tolerance,
adaptivity and dynamicity. He is currently a young researcher (post-doc)
of an Italian national base research project on emergency management
applications. In the last year he has focused his research also on
pervasive computing environments and autonomic systems.
