Louis-Noël Pouchet

Louis-Noël Pouchet is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Colorado State University, with a joint appointment in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department. He leads research in high-performance computing, focusing on polyhedral compilation, performance portability, and hardware-software co-design.

His research interests include polyhedral compilation, iterative and adaptive compilation, machine learning for compilers, performance-oriented domain-specific languages, energy-aware program optimization, and high-level synthesis. He develops compiler technologies to optimize and parallelize code for heterogeneous platforms, with applications in scientific computing and embedded systems.

The 15 most recent publications highlight a strong focus on compiler optimization for high-performance systems, particularly using the polyhedral model. Key themes include data locality, parallelization, vectorization, memory access optimization, and performance modeling. His work spans both theoretical advances in program transformation and practical implementations in tools like PoCC and PolyOpt.
