Rate My Professor Tobias Weinzierl

Weinzierl's research specializations encompass high-performance computing, parallel algorithms, and scientific computing, with emphasis on translating advanced numerical methods—such as multigrid, higher-order discontinuous Galerkin schemes, and smoothed particle hydrodynamics—into performance-portable code for modern heterogeneous architectures, often through open-source software like Peano and ExaHyPE. Notable publications include the monograph Principles of Parallel Scientific Computing (2022), ExaHyPE: An engine for parallel dynamically adaptive simulations of wave problems (2020, cited 131 times), Peano—a traversal and storage scheme for octree-like adaptive Cartesian multiscale grids (2011, cited 122 times), The PDE framework Peano applied to fluid dynamics (2010, cited 83 times), and Efficient implementation of ADER discontinuous Galerkin schemes for a scalable hyperbolic PDE engine (2018, cited 74 times). As principal investigator on projects within the UK's ExCALIBUR exascale programme, he heads the UK's first Intel oneAPI Centre of Excellence and leads initiatives like SHAREing, CAKE, and HAI-End for upskilling research technology professionals. He chairs the Artificial Intelligence Domain Panel for EuroHPC JU, serves as Associate Editor for ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software and the International Journal of High Performance Computing Applications, and chairs the Applications track at Supercomputing 2026.
