Keynote talk: Parallel Computing Trends for the Coming Decade
John Shalf
John is the Chief Technology Officer at NERSC.
His background is in electrical engineering:in graduate school at
Virginia Tech working on a C-compiler for the SPLASH-2 FPGA-based
computing system. John first got started in HPC at the National
Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) in 1994, and then
developed the Cactus Computational Toolkit the Albert Einstein
Institute in Potsdam. John joined Berkeley Lab in 2000. He is a
member of the DOE Exascale Steering committee. He currently leads the
NERSC Advanced Technology Group (ATG) with projects in Exascale
technology research such as CoDEx (CoDesign for Exascale), and the
LBNL Green Flash.
