Prof. Gabriel received the NSF Faculty Early Career Development Award to perform
research into dynamic run-time optimization of parallel applications. The award comes
from the Division of Computer and Network Systems, and can span up to 5 years with
a total budget of $410,000. The main objective of the proposed research is to increase
the performance portability of parallel applications across a wide range of architectures
by introducing novel self-tuning techniques and performance aware communication components.
