I am an Assistant Professor (program AIM: Attraction and International Mobility) at the Department of Computer Science, University of Salerno, Italy.
In 2015-2019, I was Senior Researcher at TU Berlin, working with Prof. Ben Juurlink and leading as PI the DFG-funded international project CELERITY. From 2011 to 2015, I was a Post-Doctoral Researcher at the University of Innsbruck, Austria, working with Prof. Thomas Fahringer, contributing to the Insieme Compiler project and the DK-CIM program at the Scientific Computing multidisciplinary platform.
I received my Ph.D. from the University of Salerno in March 2011, supervised by Prof. Vittorio Scarano. There, I was the recipient of several grants and scholarships (HPC-Europa2, HPC-Europa++, DAAD, Cineca ISCRA) and I visited both the HLRS Supercomputing Center and the University of Stuttgart under the supervision of Prof. Carsten Dachsbacher and by Prof. Thomas Ertl.


My research interests include compiler technology, high-performance computing, software optimization and their intersection with various fields such as graphics, artificial intelligence, physics, chemistry, and engineering.

Projects Academic Professional Service Research Highlights by Topic Programming models for HPC. Modern HPC systems are difficult to program. Our research focused on high-level programming models, capable to transparently handle data and task parallelism as well as heterogeneity, and to scale on large-scale compute clusters equipped with GPUs and other accelerators. We proposed CELERITY [Euro-Par19], a C++ SYCL-based programming supported by a distributed runtime system, integrated with a compiler. Under the hood, CELERITY uses two representations for scheduling and optimization: a task graph and a command graph [ICS13]. Automatic tuning. Software often exposes parameters that affects performance and other metrics. Parallel programs for modern computer architectures requires the tuning of a large number of code variants. My research focuses on autotuners for parallel optimization, in particular on machine learning approaches integrated into compiler. Examples are classification for automatic task partitioning [ICS13] , regression for GPU frequency scaling [ICPP19] , and ordinal regression for stencil computation [IPDPS17]. Approximate computing. Many applications provide inherent resilience to some amount of error and can potentially trade accuracy for performance. Our research focused on software approaches for approximate computing, such as kernel perforation, and their optimization for GPU architectures [CGO18]. Vectorization. Modern processors come equipped with Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) instructions. Examples are Intel AVX, ARM NEON, and recent Vector Length Agnostic ISAs such as ARM’s Scalable Vector Extensions (SVE). Our research investigated different aspects of efficient code generation for vectorization, such as cost modeling [MASCOTS19] and control flow [SCOPES18] .
