I am a senior fellow in CERN Openlab working on Siemens collaboration project in the Engineering Department as computer scientist at European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), Geneva. I received my BSc Hons (first class) in Computer Science from the University of Greenwich, London in 2005 and now finishing up my doctorate degree (actually writing up my thesis) in Information Technology. My research interests includes Virtualization, Grid, High Performance Computing, Clouds, Scheduling and Batch Systems. Presently I am exploring how batch systems such as Condor, PBS etc could be virtualization enabled so that execution nodes could be brought up on demand by the master node for optimised resource allocations. I am also researching on optimally scheduling Atlas jobs in virtual machine containers deployed through PanDA pilot. This involves number of issues to be addressed such as job profile, work load, application domain, job execution foot print. Security is another key issue. |
