Scientific computation, performance programming, parallel computation, machine and system architecture for high
performance.
Trained as a mathematician, Professor Carter has worked in computer science for the past 25 years. A primary
focus has been improving the performance of scientific applications on workstations and supercomputers. He is an expert
on compilers and computer architecture, including parallel and multi-threaded architectures, and has worked with
computational scientists in a variety of disciplines. A current focus of Carter's work is developing algorithms for
scheduling large computations on networks that may include many different types of computers and varying workloads. Dr.
Carter has also developed computation models and algorithms that accurately account for important characteristics of
real computers, especially the hierarchical nature of computer memory systems.
Capsule Bio:
Larry Carter came to the Jacobs School in 1994. He is one of three UCSD professors in the HIgh Performance
Compilers group. Between 1996 and 2000, he served as Vice Chair and then Chair of the Department of Computer Science
& Engineering. He worked at as a Research Staff Member and manager at IBM's T.J. Watson Research Center for nearly 20
years. He is an IEEE Fellow. He received his Ph.D. in mathematics from UC Berkeley in 1974.
