Jeffrey S. Vetter, Ph.D., is a Distinguished R&D Staff Member, and the founding group leader of the Future Technologies Group in the Computer Science and Mathematics Division of Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

In this video from the Argonne Training Program on Extreme-Scale Computing 2019, Jeffrey Vetter from ORNL presents: The Coming Age of Extreme Heterogeneity.

In this talk, I’m going to cover some of the high-level trends guiding our industry. Moore’s Law as we know it is definitely ending for either economic or technical reasons by 2025. Our community must aggressively explore emerging technologies now!”

The Argonne Training Program on Extreme-Scale Computing (ATPESC) provides intensive, two weeks of training on the key skills, approaches, and tools to design, implement, and execute computational science and engineering applications on current high-end computing systems and the leadership-class computing systems of the future.

Dr. Jeffrey Vetter is a Distinguished R&D Staff Member at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). At ORNL, Vetter is the founding group leader of the Future Technologies Group in the Computer Science and Mathematics Division, and the founding director of the Experimental Computing Laboratory (ExCL). Vetter also holds joint appointment at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. Vetter earned his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Georgia Institute of Technology. Vetter is a Fellow of the IEEE, and a Distinguished Scientist Member of the ACM. In 2018, Vetter was awarded the ORNL Director’s Award for Outstanding Individual Accomplishment in Science and Technology. In 2010, Vetter, as part of an interdisciplinary team from Georgia Tech, NYU, and ORNL, was awarded the ACM Gordon Bell Prize. In 2015, Vetter served as the SC15 Technical Program Chair. His recent books, entitled “Contemporary High Performance Computing: From Petascale toward Exascale (Vols. 1, 2, and 3),” survey the international landscape of HPC.
