Massimo Torquati’s Main Research Interests
-
High-level tools and languages for programming multi/many-cores and distributed heterogeneous systems.
-
Autonomic computing and QoS
-
High-performance Data Stream Processing
- Concurrent Data Structures and Concurrency Control algorithms
- Parallel programming models (pattern-based, actor-based, data-flow, …)
- Software Distributed Shared Memory
- In-memory Parallel File Systems
- System Software for HPC
- Distributed-memory FastFlow Building Blocks. We are working hard to have a unique programming model for both shared- and distributed-memory systems in FastFlow. Take a look at the DistributedFF branch of the FastFlow project.
