Mr Graham Riley - research

I am a Research Fellow in the School of Computer Science at the University of Manchester. My research is application-driven and most of my research has been undertaken in collaboration with computational scientists in application areas such as Earth System Modelling (including the U.K. Met Office) and computational chemistry and biology. My aim is to apply my experience in high performance computing and software engineering for (principally) scientific computing to new application domains. Currently, I am particularly interested in techniques and tools to support flexible coupled modelling in scientific computing.

 Further details can be found on our group web page (CNC) and my personal web page. My current research interests are:

(i) Techniques, tools and methods for developing high performance applications for for parallel machines, including performance analysis and performance improvement.

(ii) Software architectures for the flexible composition and deployment of scientific coupled modelling.

(iii) Performance control techniques for “component”-based applications executing on distributed computing resources

These research interests converge for e-Science applications deployed on the Grid.

Collaboration with Scientists and engineers is a key feature of my research and I, and my colleague, Rupert Ford, have a long standing relationship with the Met Office in the U.K., with the Earth Systems Modelling (ESM) community in the U.K. and Europe and, among others, with Computational Chemists and Biologists in the U.K.
