------------------------------------------------------------------------- Letter for Sang Lim from Dr. Yuhong Wen ------------------------------------------------------------------------- To whom it may concern: This is a reference to Mr. Sang Boem Lim. Mr. Sang Boem Lim is a graduate student in the department of computer engineering of Syracuse University. He is also a research assistant in Northeast Parallel Architecture Center, and participates in the research of MPI-Java project, which is to provide Java language interface to Message Passing Interface (MPI). This is a very hot and important research topic aiming to provide the Java language with the ability to support the distributed scientific computing. Mr. Lim's work in our group is to do the development and implementation of a Java binding with MPI and the development of some applications on this system. He also did the implementation of object serialization of large data array in Java, which greatly improve the performance of Java object serialization when dealing with large amount of data arrays. During my work with Mr. Sang Lim, I found that he has very good understanding and knowledge of computer science and technology, and he is more than qualified to be a computer science graduate student. During his work in our group, I also found that Mr. Sang Boem Lim is a very good team worker. He co- operates well with other team members and discusses with them how to make good progress in the project. In my opinion, Mr. Sang Boem Lim is an excellent candidate in the graduate study of computer science. And I believe he can do very good work in the future graduate study and research. If you have any question concern about Mr. Sang Boem Lim's research work in our group, please feel free to contact me at (315) 443-3879.
