 Computing High Performance Computing |
Pramod Kumbhar is an Engineer in the High Performance Computing Section in the Computing Division. His focus is on the development of the NEURON/CoreNEURON simulator within the Blue Brain Project. His work involves parallelisation, performance optimisation and scaling of scientific codes on supercomputing architectures like IBM BlueGene, Intel MIC, IBM Power and GPUs.
Pramod has strong hands-on experience with variety of performance analysis tools at scale and micro-architecture level performance tuning. He also has a keen interest in domain specific languages (DSL) and modern compiler technologies. Before joining the Blue Brain Project, Pramod worked at the Jülich Research Centre, Germany. Pramod received a Master’s Degree in High Performance Computing from the Edinburgh Parallel Computer Centre (EPCC) at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. Selected Publications P. Kumbhar, M.
