In this video, panelist from the Mathworks GPU Roundtable at SC11 discuss direction and HPC challenges and the gap between software and hardware, cloud, and the future of GPUs. I was only able to catch the last 18 minutes of the discussion, but I think panelists all did a great job.
Panelists (left to right):
- Professor Anne Trefethen is a Director of the Oxford e-Research Centre. Before joining Oxford Anne was Director of the UK e-Science Core Programme, having been the Deputy Director for four years. The Core Programme focussed on the generic issues for e-Science applications and Grid infrastructure through the development of appropriate middleware and infrastructure in collaboration with UK industry.
- Jerry Chen is responsible for strategic alliances for NVIDIA’s HPC business, including responsibility for NVIDIA’s partnership with the MathWorks. Prior to NVIDIA he was a developer for Abaqus (SIMULIA), and holds a Masters of Engineering from Cornell University and an MBA from the University of California at Berkeley.
- Chris Willard is Chief Research Officer at Intersect360 Research, where he leads the demand-side and supplier-driven data analysis practice for Intersect360 Research’s forward-looking market intelligence subscription service. In addition, he supports a range of client-specific services including custom research studies and strategic consulting.
- Jos Martin is currently the principal architect for parallel computing tools at MathWorks, leading the team that develops infrastructure and tools for enabling parallel computing within the MATLAB environment.
