About me

Peter F. Sweeney

Research Staff Member


Research lab: Watson Research Center


I consider myself an experimental computer scientist. My primary research interests are in performance analysis and tuning of computer systems with a focus on automation. I am currently looking at the performance issues of running Java on multicores. I have done work in the analysis and optimization of object-oriented languages and online feedback-directed optimization.

I am a member of the High Productivity Tools Group, which was part of the PERCS Continuous Program Optimization project to develop automatic performance analysis and tuning of Scientific applications.

I received my M.S. in Computer Science in May, 1989 from the Columbia University's School of Engineering and Applied Science.
