Douglas Pase is the High Performance Computing Team Lead for eServer xSeries Performance Development and Analysis group at IBM. He has been an active participant in High Performance Computing since 1982, at NASA Ames Research Center, Cray Research, Inc., IBM, and elsewhere. At Floating-Point Systems he was co-developer of the Flo programming language and compiler for the FPS Gemini series. At NASA Ames he authored an early study on the future of supercomputing. At Cray Research he co-developed the CRAFT programming model, a predecessor of OpenMP. He also developed the MPP Apprentice performance analysis tool for the Cray T3D. At IBM he developed the Dynamic Probe Class Library, for dynamically instrumenting high-performance parallel applications for performance analysis. He currently studies all aspects of the performance of Linux Clusters for high-performance scientific and technical work loads. He is an author on seven patents, and more than 20 technical papers.

Dr. Pase received the degree of Bachelors of Science in Mathematics and Computer Science from Northern Arizona University, in Flagstaff, Arizona. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from the Oregon Graduate Institute of Science and Technology, in Beaverton, Oregon.

James E. Prewett is a High Performance Computing Systems Engineer at the Center for High Performance Computing at the University of New Mexico. His primary responsibilities there include maintaining high performance computing resources and networks as well as leading the security team.

His primary interests are in security for high performance computing systems and monitoring those systems.

Angelo Rossi has a background in Computational Chemistry as well as extensive experience in Linux and AIX on both the systems and applications sides. His present position is that of research scientist within the ACTC interacting with other scientists who are involved in numerically intensive computing and assists them in efficiently exploiting High Performance Computing in their applications.

Angelo Rossi received a Ph.D. in Chemical Physics from the University of Connecticut where he later became Professor of Chemistry. He performed postdoctoral work with Professor Roald Hoffmann, the Nobel Prize Winner in Chemistry and has taught at Columbia University as an Adjunct Professor. His experience as a scientist actively involved in research, familiarity with scientific computing applications, and ability to communicate effectively with other scientists are combined to provide an effective collaborative interaction with research scientists around the world.
