High Performance Computing asynchronous algorithms GPU Computing parallel algorithms performance modeling

Amani Alonazi is a Visiting Researcher in the Image and Viedo Understanding Lab (IVUL) Research Group working with Professor Bernard Ghanem. Previously, she was a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at CEMSE, KAUST, and a member of KAUST's Extreme Computing Research Center, ACM, and SIAM. Areas of expertise and current scientific interests Amani's research focuses on developing novel asynchronous task-based algorithms of solvers in scientific simulations. The core of her work lies within the domain of high-performance computing, which combines performance optimizations, modeling, and
