Rate My Professor Barbara Kreaseck

Kreuseck's research specializations encompass program analysis and distributed computation, as well as performance modeling and evaluation. Her scholarly interests extend to parallel computing, code generation, data-flow analysis for MPI programs, interference-aware scheduling, sparse tiling for stationary iterative methods, and task-based parallelism in irregular applications. She has authored or co-authored 15 publications, accumulating 340 citations. Key publications include 'Sparse Tiling for Stationary Iterative Methods' (International Journal of High Performance Computing Applications, 2004), co-authored with Michelle Mills Strout, Larry Carter, and Jeanne Ferrante; 'Autonomous Protocols for Bandwidth-Centric Scheduling of Independent-Task Applications' (IPDPS, 2003), with Larry Carter, Henri Casanova, and Jeanne Ferrante; 'Interference-Aware Scheduling' (International Journal of High Performance Computing Applications, 2006), with Larry Carter, Henri Casanova, and Jeanne Ferrante; 'Hybrid Static/Dynamic Activity Analysis' (2006), with Luis Ramos and Scott Easterday; and 'Limits of Task-based Parallelism in Irregular Applications' (ISHPC, 2000), with Dean Tullsen and Brad Calder. Additional works address data-flow analysis for MPI programs (ICPP, 2006) and combining performance aspects of irregular Gauss-Seidel via sparse tiling. Kreaseck is also involved in STEM initiatives at La Sierra University, supporting student pathways in computer science and related fields.
