Patrick Lavin

I am a Senior Member of Technical Staff at Sandia National Laboratories in the Scalable Computer Architecture group. I work on the Structural Simulation Toolkit, a collection of architectural simulation components and interfaces. I also work on high-level performance modeling on the AGILE project.

I am a developer of the Spatter memory benchmark. This tool lets users explore the performance of a large class of gather/scatter-based memory access patterns on CPUs and GPUs. Spatter will be used during the design of ATS-5, the successor to Crossroads.
