Brian Austin leads the Advanced Technologies Group (ATG) within the NERSC division of Berkeley Lab. His research explores the intersection of scientific computing algorithms and HPC system architecture. This work combines application profiling, performance modeling, workload analysis, and workflow analysis to understand how all levels of the hardware architecture, from core microarchitecture to processors, nodes, interconnect, and infrastructure, influence the productivity of integrated HPC systems.
Ishan Srivastava is a Research Scientist in the Applied Mathematics Department within the Computing Sciences Area at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and affiliated with the Center for Computational Sciences and Engineering (CCSE). As a postdoctoral scholar, he developed continuum fluctuating hydrodynamics models to investigate fluid dynamics at the mesoscale, such as in electrolytes and fluid mixtures at the nanoscale, with various applications in catalysis, separation technologies and carbon capture.
