Dr. Efe's current research interests include parallel algorithms and architectures, computational aspects of VLSI, task scheduling, and high performance computation on workstation clusters. Recently, several parallel architectures have been proposed and built. However, it doesn't yet appear to be clear which form of parallel systems will dominate the future of parallel computing. While massively parallel computers still hold promise, recent work shows a substantial amount of potential for workstation clusters. Dr. Efe's ongoing research investigates operating systems and programming environments for workstation clusters. Automatic task partitioning, scheduling, and load balancing are among the research problems investigated.
