HPC Troublemaker
About Me
I love HPC and IT. High Performance Computing / Supercomputing is my passion and my life career. Why? Just like love someone, you think about it everyday and never sick of it.
For the last 14 years, I spent all my time focus on HPC architecture, technology and the SC industry. Although I serve different organizations like KAPL, GE, Dupont etc. My focus is always large IT systems and HPC.
I deal with problems with no text book answers. I design one of a kind HPC, storage and networks for engineering R&D communities.
Why I am a trouble maker? I push limit on almost every aspect in HPC and cry for improvements.
At the end of the day, I thank everyone who worked and working with me.
Now - I am not able to take HPCers to Quantum Computing, but at least I can take you to Cloud.
