I like fast computers and the software tools to make them speedy. My experience in High Performance Computing (HPC) and Parallel Computing spans four decades, and includes 27 years at Intel Corporation (retired June 2016). I have authored of eight books in the HPC field (and I'm working on another with some amazing co-authors!), numerous papers and blogs. I am currently working on a couple more book projects, teaching/writing/blogging, and working for Pattern Computer - a startup hoping to use machine learning style approaches to  make the world a better place.

We are all on a journey that incudes lifelong learning. I continue to accept opportunities to work with others from whom I can learn. In this vein, I do accept compensation for my time interviewing and/or writing blogs from time-to-time. Anytime that I attach my name to an article or blog, I stand behind them as my opinion (not an opinion that was purchased). If you disagree with them, you are disagreeing with something I believe - and I am interested in feedback.
