This is my home page, such as it is. I know it needs work, but I do have some links:

Projects that keep me busy:

• ZeptoOS: Petascale computers need specialized operating systems. The ZeptoOS project explores the limits of Linux. Can it work for an extreme-scale platform with one million cores? What must we do to build OSes for the world's largest platforms?
• SPRUCE Urgent Computing: I lead the Urgent Computing project for the TeraGrid GIG. The concept is simple, create a system that can support urgent computing applications that need near-immediate access to supercomputers.
• Coordinated Infrastructure for Fault Tolerant Systems: CIFTS: The larger we build supercomputers, the more complex and prone to errors they become. The CIFTS project is building a fault tolerance backplane so all HPC components can respond to faults.
• Argonne Leadership Class Facility: The ALCF is still being constructed, but when it is completed, it will be one of the nation's largest production computing resources. I work as the Chief Architect for the project.
• MCS Wireless Sensor Lab
