Antonio holds a BS + MS degree in Computer Engineering (2006), and MS and PhD degrees in Advanced Computer Systems (2010, 2013), from Jaume I University of Castellón, Spain. Antonio is currently a Senior Researcher at Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Computer Sciences Department. Antonio’s research interests in the area of runtime systems and programming models for high performance computing include resource heterogeneity, communications, and resilience.
Antonio was previously at Argonne National Laboratory, Mathematics and Computer Science Division, as a Postdoctoral Appointee (2012-2015). Antonio was driving the heterogeneous memory and accelerator computing areas of research within the Pogramming Models and Runtime Systems group led by Dr. Pavan Balaji, where he was the technical lead of the DMEM and VOCL projects. Antonio was also part of the core MPICH R&D team.
Antonio pursued his doctorate in Advance Computer Systems, in a joint collaboration between the Jaume I University of Castellón (Spain) and the Technical University of Valencia (Spain). His PhD dissertation, titled “GPU Virtualization for High Performance Clusters”, was awarded with the Cum Laude distinction and more recently (Sep. 2015) with the Extraordinary Doctoral Award from the Jaume I University. This work started the rCUDA project, from which Antonio am the original developer and architect. Later, he acted as the Development Supervisor of the project.
