Dr. Kunkel is a Professor in High-Performance Computing at the University of Göttingen, a Deputy Head of the GWDG and group leader of the working group Computing. Previously, he was a Lecturer at the Computer Science Department at the University of Reading and a postdoc in the research department of the German Climate Computing Center (DKRZ).
He manages several research projects revolving around High-Performance Computing and particularly high-performance storage. Julian became interested in the topic of HPC storage in 2003, during his studies of computer science. Besides his main goal to provide efficient and performance-portable I/O, his HPC-related interests are data reduction techniques, performance analysis of parallel applications and parallel I/O, management of cluster systems, cost-efficiency considerations, and the software engineering of scientific software. Dr. Kunkel is a member of many international program committees, he is a founding member of the IO500 benchmarking effort, the Virtual Institute for I/O, and the HPC Certification Forum. He is committed to excellence in research and teaching.
HPC storage systems exhibit complex behavior that is unfortunately often not well understood. As part of this work, the student would execute various storage benchmarks on different storage systems at GWDG and aim to understand the system performance creating a characterization for these systems. We will also document the results and aim to create a publication.
