?? A heartfelt farewell and best wishes to Felipe Cabarcas! ??
We recently bade farewell to Felipe Cabarcas, our lab’s postdoctoral research fellow, who joined us in July 2022 for the ECP SOLLVE project. He was instrumental in contributing to the exploration of performance analysis of OpenMP offloading compilers especially LLVM as they have all been picking up speed in the past several years. He worked closely with our collaborators in Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. He also made significant contributions to the OpenMP Validation and Verification testsuite project where the goals were to write, debug OpenMP tests, in collaboration with Oak Ridge National Laboratory and all OpenMP compiler vendors.
Besides these, Felipe has been an integral part of our lab as he has trained undergrad students on directives-based programming model, usage of clusters, compilers and architecture.
We will miss him and wish him all the best as he joins Universidad de Antioquia, Medellín, Colombia!!
