Hi there 👋

This is Sriharsha Kandala!

About me

I am a software engineer with a background in computational fluid dynamics. I am passionate about developing efficient and scalable software for HPC on distributed CPU and GPU platforms. I am interested in both traditional (computational physics) and modern (AI/ML) HPC applications.

My doctoral work involved development of Specsolve, a distributed spectral element solver for simulation of incompressible turbulent flows in complex domains. The code is written in C++ and uses MPI for communication.

Some of the open-source projects I contributed to include:

• RRTMGP.jl: A 2-stream radiatiation transfer model.
• ClimaComms.jl: Communications infrastructure for the dynamical core.
• ClimaCore.jl: Spatial discretizations for the dynamical core.
• ClimaAtmos.jl: The atmosphere model.
• ClimaInterpolations.jl: A collection of interpolation tools for the CliMA ecosytem.
• ClimateMachine.jl: Our earlier atmosphere model based on discontinuous Galerkin method.

My JuliaCon 2024 talk on communications patterns and scaling of our dynamical core can be found here.
