PROGRAMMING EXPERIENCE AND MAJOR PROJECTS: 

Cheng has participated in several application projects at NPAC in the area of Web/RDBMS, data mining,
parallel databases, financial modeling, computational electromagnetics, four-dimensional data 
assimilation, climate and weather modeling and geographic information system.  
Serving as either a system analyst, a technical lead or a project leader in those projects, he has 
broad experience in developing industrial and scientific applications of 
parallel computing and information processing. Currently he is a database manager and one of
the top NPAC technical lead in database management and Web-based information systems.

Cheng is the major developer and maintainer of an Internet Web-based Information service
provided by NPAC - A Searchable USENET Newsgroups Archive System. He is an expert in
the integration of Web and RDBMS technologies. He has managed and architected several
key information projects at NPAC, including Web/Oracle applications, Web search systems,
Oracle-based Web agent, data-mining and parallel database benchmarking.

Working as both a DBA and a system administrator, Mr. Cheng has participated a 
project sponsored by an industrial corporation to conduct benchmarking of the state-of-art
parallel database technologies on MPP systems, including Oralce 7 parallel software on nCUBE2
and IBM SP2, and DB2 Parallel Edition on IBM SP2.

He was a project leader of a data mining project sponsored by a industrial corporation
to investigate advanced data mining software for very large database in commercial applications.Currently he is a top NPAC technical lead in building large-scale advanced 
information systems using WWW and RDBMS technologies.

In a financial modeling project funded by DEC and Syracuse 
University,  Cheng developed a set of parallel stock option pricing models on 
massively parallel systems, including Connection Machines CM2 and CM5, DECmpp-12000, 
nCUBE2, IBM SP-1 and on networked workstations. He designed and implemented an interactive 
visualization environment for this application, in which computational models 
running on multiple MPP systems and/or workstations are coupled over  
a local area network with a network-based graphical user interface. 

Cheng has developed a high performance computing and visualization system for 
an electromagnetic scattering(EMS) simulation. In this DARPA-funded project, 
he integrated parallel EMS programs on the CM5 into an interactive data 
visualization environment to take the advantages of high performance computing 
and sophisticated 3D graphical display. 

Cheng played an active role in a NASA funded HPCC ``Grand Challenge'' 
application project in four-dimensional data assimilation, in which he
was responsible for the parallel implementation of a trajectory model
and system integration/visualization. 

He has actively participated in the NSF Research Experiences
for Undergraduates (REU) programs at NPAC, served as 
a co-advisor of a REU student project in 1993 and gave seminars in 1993 and 1994. 

He was a NPAC project leader of a U.S. Air Force Wright 
Laboratory funded project to develop and implement 
advanced computational electromagnetics
techniques on massively parallel computing architectures. In this large-scale 
industrial application project, working with an industrial partner, Syracuse Research
Corporation, he was responsible for and has involved in all
the project phases, including proposal writing to obtain the funding, project management and
implementation, research reports preparation and presentation. This project has been 
completed ahead of schedule and in good quality by the NPAC/SRC team. SRC's computational
electromagnetic software package ParaMoM has beed successfully ported to
three MPP systems (an Intel Paragon, an IBM SP1 and a CM5).

Cheng has also actively involved in a variety of other parallel application and educational projects 
at NPAC.  He has extensive expertise in design, system integration and implementation of Web and database technologies, MPP software development, algorithm 
design and programming, network programming, computer graphics, and
programming languages.

was chosen to benchmark the Oracle 7 RDBMS with parallel server, parallel
query and distributed options on shared-nothing MPP architectures, including
nCUBE2 and IBM SP2. Sizeup (from 100MB to 10GB), scaleup (from 1 to 64 nodes)
and speedup tests were conducted. Installation and initial benchmarking of DB2
Parallel Edition on IBM SP2

Lead a team of NPAC researchers to develop, implement and conduct extensive benchmarking 
and experiments on IBM SP2 for the ``Orchestrate'' data mining development 
environment developed by Applied Parallel Technologies, Inc. Also working as a consultant
to APT to provide support/advice in parallel database on SP2 during the project.

4. Development and Implementation of Computational 
Electromagnetics Techniques on
Massively Parallel Computing Architectures.

ParaMom, a computational electromagnetics code developed by 
Syracuse Research Corporation,
was ported in explicit message-passing programs
to run on an Intel Paragon, an IBM SP1, a CM5, and networked workstation
clusters. Using ScaLAPACK/BLACS, the distributed version of parallel 
linear algebra library LAPACK from ORNL/UTK, excellent program 
portabilities, high scalability and good performance
were achieved in porting the over 10K Fortran77 sequential code. Validation with all EMCC 
benchmarking cases were conducted, as well as scalability and performance analysis.
An out-of-core matrix solver was used and out-of-core algorithms were developed to
run large realistic aircraft tests.

5. Four Dimensional Data Assimilation(NASA HPCC).
 
Collaborated with researchers at NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center
and Jet Propulsion Laboratory, data parallel and explicit message 
passing algorithms of a Lagrangian trajectory model were

(Virginia Geographic Information System) Project at Virginia Tech, this 
PC-based system allows the user to manage and generate high quality graphics 
of DLG maps in various ways.
