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
