At the University of Delaware
We advance core computer science and interdisciplinary research through projects in high-performance computing, machine learning, and AI.
Our ongoing research includes improving drug response prediction models, developing compiler infrastructures, testsuites, and exploring programming models for exascale systems and beyond.
Our group’s research centers on high-performance computing, with a strong focus on directive-based programming models for heterogeneous systems. Our work explores optimizing scientific applications—like plasma/solar/bio/nuclear physics, climate modeling and molecular dynamics—on advanced architectures including NVIDIA and AMD GPUs. We contribute to OpenMP/OpenACC standardization, performance benchmarking on exascale systems, and comparative studies of programming models. Our collaborations span national labs and industry, driving innovation in scalable, portable computing.
We use large scale systems like Frontier, Perlmutter, Aurora and other systems for our research!

This past week, we presented our latest work on NVIDIA’s Blackwell GPU architecture at the International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS) in New Orleans. The paper, Microbenchmarking NVIDIA’s Blackwell Architecture, represents a deep dive into the performance characteristics of NVIDIA’s newest accelerator—and the results reveal some genuinely surprising fi...

Professor Sunita Chandrasekaran has been recognized as part of the inaugural SCW75 list by Scientific Computing World, which celebrates leaders shaping the future of scientific computing across high-performance computing (HPC), artificial intelligence (AI), simulation, and research infrastructure. The SCW75 recognizes individuals whose work is advancing the technologies and syst...

Today was a truly special and joyful day as we came together to celebrate the graduation of our students. Following the end of the spring semester, we gathered for a small celebration filled with laughter, memories, and reflections on the incredible journeys that brought us to this milestone and look ahead to the exciting opportunities that await. We are especially proud of Saie...
