Prof. Dr. Frank Müller from North Carolina State University is recipient of a prestigious Humboldt Research Award for a one-year research visit at Zuse Institute Berlin (ZIB), starting in July 2014. Frank Müller is an international expert on fault-tolerance and performance analysis/tuning in high-performance computing. He has made many important contributions to improve runtime systems, programming languages, and compilers for parallel/distributed computing systems and real-time systems. More recently, he focused on algorithms that trade off resilience, power and performance of high-end computing systems, including the investigation of feedback control methods under service-level-agreement constraints. During his stay in Berlin, he will pursue the design of a system that optimizes performance, energy, resilience and thermal constraints in high-performance computer installations. Frank Müller is hosted by Prof. Dr. Alexander Reinefeld at Zuse Institute Berlin.
