This is a very rudimentary page about me, Derek Groen. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher working on the European MAPPER project at UCL.
MAPPER: A taxonomy of multiscale communities:
http://doi.ieeecomputersociety.org/10.1109/eScienceW.2011.11
We submitted an expanded article on this to CiSE, this article is currently being reviewed.
MPWide: A light-weight library for message passing over wide area networks:
http://iopscience.iop.org/1749-4699/3/1/015002
MAPPER: A first article on distributed multiscale simulation of nanocomposites:
http://doi.ieeecomputersociety.org/10.1109/eScienceW.2011.37
SUSHI: A cosmological TreePM N-body code that runs distributed across multiple supercomputers:
http://iopscience.iop.org/1749-4699/4/1/015001
More recent conference paper on an improved version: http://arxiv.org/abs/1109.5559
The CosmoGrid Project: Simulating the universe on an intercontinental grid:
http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/MC.2009.419
The Living Application: a method to perform distributed multi-solver simulations dynamically and autonomously.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1094342009347891
Global GRAPE Grid (G3) Project: Running N-body simulations of star clusters across a network of dedicated hardware sites:
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.newast.2007.11.004
However, papers tend to be written with the intent to be read by other scientists, and might not be very useful for people without a similar background. Because poster presentations tend to be a little more accessible than scientific papers, I uploaded some of the posters I worked on as well during my PhD. Here they are:
Simulating star clusters on a global grid of PCs with GRAPE hardware
Simulating the Universe across two supercomputers, on in Amsterdam and one in Tokyo
Simulating the Universe across a planet-wide network of up to four supercomputers
A light-weight communication library for distributed computing
All of the posters relate directly to a journal article, so if you would like to know more feel free to check the papers. And if your thirst for knowledge on these topics is still insufficiently quenched after that, do not hesitate to contact me directly.
If you are interested about all my other publications, then I would recommend to take a look at my Google Scholar page.
