Michele Martone

Michele Martone is a Researcher at the High Performance Systems Division of the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) in Garching, Germany. His work focuses on High Performance Computing (HPC), sparse matrix computations, and code restructuring techniques, with a strong emphasis on OpenMP/MPI parallelization and semantic patching using the Coccinelle tool.

• Research Interests: HPC, automated code restructuring, sparse matrix optimization, semantic patching, and free/open source software (FLOSS) development.
• Key Tools: Author of the librsb library for sparse matrix operations, SparseRSB for Octave, PyRSB for Python integration, and the FIM image viewer.
• Publications: His recent work includes semantic patching for HPC refactorings, Coccinelle-based tooling, and performance optimization of sparse linear algebra libraries.
• Teaching: Delivers trainings and talks on Coccinelle, OpenMP/MPI, and FLOSS at events like HIPS25, FOSDEM, and deRSE conferences.
• Advocacy: Strongly promotes free software, transparency in science, and public access to code developed with taxpayer funding.
