 * Home * People * Paul Lu**

a Canadian computer scientist and associate professor at [|Department of Computing Science], University of Alberta. His research interests includes [|high-performance computing], [|Metacomputing], and [|Bioinformatics]. He developed //Aurora//, a distributed shared data (DSD) system based on a standard C++ class library and run-time system. The system exploits language mechanisms for creating abstract data types and does not contain any language extensions. Paul Lu further is member of the [|Chinook] team, solving Checkers in 2007, and worked on its parallel game tree search and endgame database construction.
