Adriano Marques Garcia

Short Bio

Adriano Marques Garcia is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Turin. He received his PhD with honours in Computer Science at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul with a thesis on easing the benchmarking of parallel stream processing targeting multicore parallelism. He also received a Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering from the Federal University of Pampa with a master’s thesis on a new parallel benchmark suite for evaluating the performance and energy consumption of parallel programming interfaces. Adriano also worked as a research fellow at the SAP SE company, focusing on researching and developing new methods for fault recovery in distributed data-flow graphs.

Open Source Software

• Creator and maintainer of SPBench, a framework for benchmarking C++ stream processing applications. The main goal of SPBench is to enable users to easily create custom benchmarks from real-world stream processing applications and evaluate multiple parallel programming interfaces.

• Creator and maintainer of PAMPAR, a parallel benchmark suite that provides a broad set of benchmarks (micro, kernels, and pseudo-applications), all parallelized using well-known parallel programming interfaces, such as OpenMP, POSIX Threads, MPI-1.0, and MPI-2.0.

Achievements

• [2023] Winner of the IEEE SBAC-PAD 2023 2nd Best PhD Thesis Award.
• [2020] Winner of ICCSA 2020 Best Paper Award.
• [2014] Winner of an 18-month Computer Science visiting student scholarship at Dublin Business School in Dublin, Ireland.
