Dr. Penry was one of seven recipients of a Microsoft Research Safe and Scalable Multicore Computing grant for a project entitled "Runtime Packaging of Fine-Grained Parallelism and Locality". This project seeks to adapt and optimize parallel programs at runtime to improve their performance on a diverse set of multicore systems. A July 30 article in EE Times reports on Dr. Penry's project and the six other projects supported through these grants.
