openlab summer students working on openlab projects

2008

 
Natalia Basha

openlab Summer Student, IT-CS Group, from 01/08/08 to 27/08/08

Basha Natalia is MSc student at The International University of Nature, Society and the Man "Dubna"(Dubna, Russia), System Analysis and Management department. Specializing in analysis of efficiency of computing algorithms based on a data flow architecture using GPU.

She works in CERN openlab on the CINBAD project focusing on investigation of different packet filters in terms of performance and scalability.

 

 
Paola Čečuk

openlab Summer student, IT-DI Group, from 15/07/08 to 02/09/08

Paola Čečuk is a student of Information and communication technology at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing, University of Zagreb, Croatia, currently in her first year of Master's degree program. During her stay at CERN she was working on the openlab project named Benchmark, studying SPEC2006 sub-benchmarks.

 

 
Xin Dong

openlab Summer student, IT-DI Group, from 16/06/2008 to 15/08/2008

I'm a PhD student at Northeastern University in Boston, MA, USA. My research is on system and parallel computing. I got BS from Math department of Fudan University and MS from CS department of Jiaotong University. Both schools are in Shanghai, China.

As an openlab student, my work focuses on multi-threaded Geant4. The most recent result is the implementation of a multi-threaded Geant4 with shared geometry. This makes parallel computing of Geant4 applications more scalable on multi-core machines. I also concern about whether the methodology of this implementation is general and applicable to other software.

 
Shuaib Khan

openlab Summer student, IT-DI Group, from 20/07/2008 to 19/09/2008

M. Shuaib Khan is an undergraduate student at National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) - Pakistan, pursuing his B.E. degree in Computer Software Engineering. At his home institute, he has been involved in a research project titled "PhantomOS", an experimental OS with built in support for Grid Computing.

His primary project at Openlab concerns designing and enhancing a testing framework for Perfmon2, which is a flexible performance monitoring interface for Linux.

 
William Romero

openlab Summer student, IT-DI Group, from 01/07/08  to 26/08/2008

William A. Romero R. received his bachelors degree in Systems and Computing Engineering from the Universidad de Los Andes (Bogotá, COLOMBIA). Currently he is a Masters student and research assistant at the Visualization & Autonomous Systems Lab at the same university. His research interests includes simulation and modeling. At openlab, he worked on performance tests of the software frameworks for simulation, reconstruction and analysis in the LHC experiments (LHCb, CMS, ATLAS).
