Benjamin Klenk
Biography
Benjamin Klenk is a 4th year PhD student in Computer Engineering at Ruprecht-Karls University of Heidelberg, Germany. Under the supervision of Prof. Holger Fröning his research focuses on specialized communication models for massively thread-parallel processors. Benjamin authored a couple of conference and workshop papers and published at international conferences. He contributed to the GGAS project, which allows physically distributed GPUs to share a virtual address space for direct and fine-grain GPU-to-GPU communication.
In 2015 and 2016, Benjamin served internships at NVIDIA. Among other topics, he analyzed communication patterns during the training of deep neural nets and provided recommendations for specialized network architectures for inter-GPU data transfers. Despite his broad interest in HPC, his main interests include communication and programming models, networking architectures, and application specific computing architectures, both on software and hardware level.
