TurboMPI authors: John Hague, David Klepacki, and Pascal Vezzole
John Hague earned a Ph.D. in High Energy Physics from University College London. He is currently working as an application consultant at the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF), which has 1920 IBM p690 processors (10 TFLOP). Before joining IBM, he worked at the Rutherford Lab in the U.K., the University of Washington in Seattle, and the Lawrence Radiation Lab in Berkeley, where he ran some of the first Particle Physics experiments to be analysed by online computers.
Dr. Hague has worked for IBM for more than 30 years, concentrating on high-performance computing with a particular focus on petroleum and weather applications. A few years ago, he developed the "turbo" concept as well as the original version of TurboMPI, which took advantage of the characteristics of shared memory processors in a distributed memory system.
Pascal Vezolle earned a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the University of Bordeaux in France. He is part of the EMEA scientific and technical team. He is located at Montpellier in the Product Software Solution Center (PSSC). He role is to port, optimize, "benchmark," and develop tools for EMEA customers.
Dr. Vezolle has ten years of experience in high-performance computing. Before joining IBM, he developed and optimized scientific and technical software in the area of high-performance computation for French Atomic Agency. He also worked for COMPAQ and Saint-Gobain Research Center.
Dr. Vezolle may be contacted at vezolle@fr.ibm.com.
