Dr. Jose Gracia

Head, Scalable Programming Models and Tools

Together with his group, José Gracia does research into topics related to scalable programming models and tools. This includes, in particular, new approaches to MPI or task-based programming models and their interoperability at scale. He also works on performance analysis tools, characterization of application performance, and optimization of scientific codes and workflows.

In addition, Gracia is involved in user support and responsible for part of the HLRS software stack.

He holds a doctoral degree in physics with a background in numerical simulations of astrophysical flows.
