Navigating my world of Heterogeneous, High-Performance Computing

[Please note that this is an on-going post, and I'll keep making changes and additions in the coming days, weeks, months, years, and possibly decades.]

[Heterogeneous, High-Performance Computing = HHPC]

I am at that stage of my research and professional career where I needed to chart out what exactly is "my thing" when it comes to research. I think the most succinct way to capture what I want to do is contribute towards Accessibility of Heterogeneous High Performance Computing for Scientific Applications, basically by making smart tools and frameworks.

I felt like I should have some kind of a high-level view of how what I want to do connects with various diverse subjects, and how these may connect to one another. I recently made an attempt to make a concept map of the course I'll be teaching soon, and I realized concept maps are a good hammer for this nail as well.

So, here is a first attempt at this concept map. Keep your comments coming, and I'll continue working on this map.

I hope to use this map to:

1. Identify areas of personal focus.
2. Identify subjects I need to learn and understand better.
3. Identify areas of, and colleagues for, collaboration.
4. Find suitable students and student projects, and help them navigate.
5. Manage literature survey.
6. Find and prioritize publication venues.
7. Identify opportunities for funding, knowledge exchange, and impact.
8. Get feedback from peers.
9. Just maybe help out someone else out there too.

Here goes:

The map is (and meant to be) from a very personal vantage point, but I have tried to give a generic view as well. Some items though (especially those in cyan) are quite personal in that they don't really belong in this concept map as such, and are there only because I am currently working on those topics.
