.	:::::	I research local (or partial) synchronization on parallel machines with my adviser, Quentin Stout. Our work addresses the question of how much delay is caused by nearest-neighbor synchronization induced by a graph of bounded degree under the assumption that tasks are identically distributed according to one of various distributions. We incorporate techniques from combinatorics, queueing theory and extreme value theory.
