Main achievements

Achievements in scientific research

Chen Guoliang has made some international best achievements in the research of non numerical parallel algorithms, including packet selection network, recursive selection network, Benes network routing algorithm, VLSI plane embedding algorithm, network maximum flow algorithm, average performance analysis of bin packing algorithm, etc. In the aspect of high performance computing and its application research, the research method of "parallel algorithm parallel machine architecture parallel programming" integration is put forward, and the commercial software "user development environment" of Dawning parallel machine with independent copyright is developed. Anhui disaster prevention and mitigation decision support system and Huaihe River Basin flood control and pollution prevention dispatching system are developed, which have produced certain social and economic benefits in practical application. as of October 2016, Chen Guoliang has published more than 200 papers and more than 10 academic works in important academic journals and conferences at home and abroad. as of December 2019, Chen Guoliang has successively presided over and completed more than 10 scientific research projects such as the National 863 plan, the national climbing plan, the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and the Doctoral Fund of the Ministry of education. as of October 2016, Chen Guoliang has successively won the second prize of national science and technology progress award, the first prize of Ministry of Education Science and technology progress award, the first prize of excellent works and teaching materials of State Education Commission, and the first prize of 863 Program of Ministry of science and technology.

personnel training

Chen Guoliang thinks: "as a teacher, what we pass on to students is not only the classroom knowledge, but also the ability of practical application and the method of thinking." He often said that it is important for a university to do scientific research, but what is more important is to teach and educate people. "High level scholars and scientific research backbones should teach students, so that they can experience the process of creation and pursue the essence." as the leader of the teaching team, Chen Guoliang put forward the innovative curriculum system of "parallel computing" including "parallel computer architecture", "parallel algorithm" and "parallel programming" in the process of creating the course of "parallel computing"; published the supporting "Parallel Computing Series" as the teaching material; improved the experimental teaching environment and content; and built the first batch of national parallel computing courses Excellent courses at home level. In the laboratory of the National High Performance Computing Center, "three questions a month" is an unwritten system that Chen Guoliang adheres to for many years. "How was the last assignment done? What are you doing? What are you going to do next? " Three times a month, every student has to answer these three questions. He clearly recorded each student's basic information, research direction, conversation and exchange, learning and scientific research progress and existing problems in his specially prepared big book, registered and numbered each student, established personal files, and determined the next learning plan and goals and tasks according to each student's different situations. He said: "this is convenient for the realization of process management of postgraduate training, so as to avoid students' herding sheep ', lack of management, cultivate students' independent activities and self-management ability, and ensure the quality of postgraduate training."

Honorary recognition

Social service

Character evaluation

In the process of the construction of the Software College of University of science and technology of China, Professor Chen Guoliang actively provided suggestions and personally taught for the students of the software college, making great contributions to the construction and development of the software college. In the past 20 years, Professor Chen Guoliang has put forward a new idea of parallel algorithm design and application. He has made great contributions to the research of non numerical parallel algorithm, high performance computing and its applications. (review of School of software, University of science and technology of China) academician Chen Guoliang is the academic leader of China's non numerical parallel algorithm research. The first National High Performance Computing Center in China is the important base of China's parallel algorithm research, environmental science and engineering computing software. He has an important influence and position in the academic and educational circles, and has cultivated a number of talents in China Senior talents engaged in algorithm and high performance computing research at home and abroad. He is a diligent and selfless man. He is a model of both teaching and research. " (comments by academician Zhu Qingshi, President of University of science and technology of China)
