Member of HiPEAC, European Network of Excellence on High Performance and Embedded Architecture and Compilation (EU Horizon Europe Programme)

My primary research interest is in the area of High Performance Computing (HPC) at all levels: architectures, operating systems, networks, compilers, programming languages/libraries, algorithms and applications. My research lines are:

Big Data and cloud computing:

Performance evaluation of Big Data frameworks with BDEv
Performance monitoring and profiling of Big Data frameworks and applications with BDWatchdog
ServerlessYARN: Serverless platform for the execution of Big Data workloads through Hadoop YARN in container-based clusters
Serverless container platform for automatic rescaling of Big Data workloads, including energy capping policies
Optimization of MapReduce Big Data processing with Flame-MR

Parallel algorithms, libraries and applications:

Bioinformatics applications: pRIblast, PATO, ParRADMeth, SeQual-Stream, SparkEC, HSRA, MarDRe, MSAProbs-MPI, SMusket
AI applications: Parallel-FST, Fast-mRMR
Other: UPCBLAS Library

Compilers and architectures for high performance computing (MARTA, MACVETH, Tejas KNL)
Low-latency communications for high performance computing (Speedus and FastMPJ)
Performance evaluation and information gathering of parallel programming languages and architectures (Servet Benchmark Suite, jhwloc)
Fault tolerance: checkpointing of parallel codes (CPPC Project)

My other research interest is Geographic Information Systems (GIS) applied to land management and weather forecast (also cross-cutting with HPC)

Technology Transfer
Co-Founder of the start-up Torus Software Solutions (solutions in the areas of Big Data, HPC and microservices)
