Andy Pimentel chairs the Parallel Computing Systems (PCS) group within the Systems and Networking Lab at the Informatics Institute of the University of Amsterdam. The PCS group performs research on the design, programming and run-time management of multi-core and multi-processor computer systems. The modeling, analysis and optimization of the extra-functional aspects of these systems, such as performance, power/energy consumption and system dependability but also the degree of productivity to design and program these systems, play a pivotal role in our work.
