Masoud Hemmatpour

I am Masoud Hemmatpour, a computer science researcher specializing in high-performance computing (HPC) interconnects. My research primarily focuses on emerging hardware technologies and optimizing memory access in distributed architectures to enhance computational efficiency.

Below is a list of my teaching and invited talks.

Teaching

1. System Programming

  • Institution: Politecnico di Torino
  • Role: Teaching assistant
  • Year: 3 Academic Years (2017,2018,2019)
  • Description: This course describes the programming interfaces for system programming and resource management and concurrent programming. It introduces system programming techniques within Unix-based operating system. I was responsible for the labs and final exam. You can access to the material of the course here.

2. Operating System

  • Institution: Politecnico di Torino
  • Role: Teaching assistant
  • Year: 2 Academic Years (2017,2018)
  • Description: The course provides an overview of operating system (OS) architecture and its associated development frameworks, focusing on Unix-based operating systems. This involves examining the internal structure of the OS concerning the underlying hardware. You can access to the material of the course here.

3. Linux fundamentals and network services

  • Institution: Fanavaran Pasargad J
  • Role: Teacher
  • Year: 3 Years (2010,2011,2012)
  • Description: I have taught over 1000 hours Linux Fundamentals and Network Services in several universities and companies, covering topics such as system administration, command-line proficiency, shell scripting, network configuration, and troubleshooting. My sessions have provided students with a solid foundation in Linux environments and essential networking concepts, preparing them for real-world IT and system administration roles. I followed Linux Professional Institute (LPI) syllabus. You can access to the LPI levels here.

Talks

1. From Data Networks to Intelligent Networks: In-Network Computing’s Promise

  • Location: Paris, France
  • Event: Laboratory of Information, Networking and Communication Sciences (LINCS)
  • Description: In this talk, I reviewed the hardware and software technologies accessible for in-network computing. Moreover, I outlined the obstacles encountered in in-network computing and delved into the opportunities that this technology presents. Additionally, I explored a selection of applications that leverage in-network.

2. Open Source and Linux Fundamentals

I have actively organized many talks and seminars internally and internationally at institute, bringing in experts from various fields to share their insights on cutting-edge topics. Here are a selection of talks organized by me (only ones with official announcment):

1. Toward Distributed In-Network Machine Learning

  • Location: Tromso, Norway
  • Speaker: Changgang Zheng, Engineering Science at the University of Oxford
  • Year: 2024
  • Description: Deploying in-network machine learning applications in programmable network devices faces challenges in scalability due to resource constraints. This presentation introduces DINC, a distributed deployment framework used to scale in-network computing models.
