Research Goal
In real-world applications, numerical methods based on unstructured meshes, such as Finite Element and Finite Volume, are time-demanding. My research is about studying and developing optimisations at different layers of abstractions for these computations. The key difficulty is represented by the presence of indirect memory accesses (e.g. A[B[i]]) that prevent many standard (e.g. polyhedral) optimisations.
Research Interests

- Vectorisation of Finite Element assembly kernels
