About CRPL Logo CRPL

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!
