NIKOS CHRISOCHOIDES
Dr. Chrisochoides' work has touched many facets of parallel and distributed
computing. His work includes (i) research on parallel runtime support and back-end systems for parallel compilers and problem solving environments for
multicomputers, (ii) parallel algorithms for scheduling, load balancing,
and data distribution for adaptive computations. He co-designed and
implemented many key software components of a well-known simulation
environment, Parallel ELLPACK .
