Presenter

Michel Müller is a Ph.D. student at the Tokyo Institute of Technology. He graduated from the Master’s course in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at ETH Zurich in 2012. The first contact with GPGPU programming was for a semester thesis regarding the feasibility of GPUs for the COSMO weather model in 2011. During and after his ETH studies he worked in the industry as a software architect at ATEGRA AG Switzerland. His interest in GPUs eventually lead him to Tokyo where he became interested in productivity issues in HPC software as a guest researcher at Aoki Laboratory. Since 2015 Michel is pursuing a Ph.D. course on the topic of applying GPUs to the Japanese weather model ”ASUCA” while retaining the original user code as much as possible.
