Research
Patrick's research interests are in HPC export controls,
heterogeneous computing, operating systems,
scientific computing, and K-12 computing. He has been the primary
architect of the
Schooner Interconnection System, a tool to facilitate the construction of
scientific applications from heterogeneous resources.
Schooner has been used
in a number of collaborations. These include:
- Support for the Numerical Propulsion System Simulation
(NPSS)
Project, managed through
NASA Glenn Research Center.
Schooner has been used in a prototype simulation
environment, and is currently in use on a prototype zooming project.
The zooming project includes researchers at the
U. of Toledo and
Cleveland State U.
- An eco-system modelling project at the U. of Arizona with researchers in
the
Electrical and Computer Engineering
Department and the
School of Renewable Natural Resources.
Sy Goodman
(Georgia Tech),
Peter Wolcott
(U. of Nebraska-Omaha), and Patrick
conducted a study in 1997-1998 for
- Dept. of Defense --
Deputy Assistant
Secretary of Defense for Counterproliferation Policy, and
- Dept. of Commerce --
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Export Administration
concerning trends in HPC technology development and HPC national security
applications, and their impact on the HPC export control regime.

Career History
When not working, Patrick hangs out with
Ann.
Together they make periodic backpacking trips into
Grand Canyon National Park and
other spots.
Patrick is always ready to answer questions about the Canyon, and
maintains a small file containing Canyon information
and things he enjoys doing there. Other off-hours activities include
petting Ginger and Thomas (our cats) and Shishka (our dog); reading science
fiction and history; model railroading; hiking the mountain and desert trails;
and dancing the occasional two-step with Ann.

Gardens, then along Tonto Trail to Hermit's Creek and out the Hermit Trail
to Hermit's Rest. October, 1995. With
Ann, Cliff, and Phil.
