Intel continues its penetration of HPC space with pickup of Lustre backer Whamcloud
The Lustre parallel file system is a key component of many giant Exascale high-performance computing projects – and Whamcloud has helped make it simpler to use.
John covered IT early adoption and innovation in high-performance computing at 451 Research. He was also responsible for the company's research activities within the European Commission Framework Program.
John has over 30 years of experience in the IT industry, initially writing compilers and development tools for HPC platforms. The bulk of his career has been spent in a variety of technical roles at HPC systems vendors, delivering training, running benchmarks, and providing pre- and post-sales customer support. John's core technical skills are in application performance analysis, optimization and parallelization.

How do you get the best throughput from your multicore systems? Just throw more work at it? Wrong – that leads to resource contention. Exludus' Micro-Virtualization helps its MCOpt tool make best use of processor cores and memory.
The company has expanded its offerings for high-performance computing, increasing performance, scalability and functionality
The Portland Group takes a dual strategy in supporting accelerators for HPC. On the one hand it supports NVIDIA's proprietary CUDA, while on the other hand it is one of the vendors driving the emerging OpenACC standard.
The vendor's systems used to be considered special-purpose devices for HPC applications, but Convey now sees big data as a big opportunity.
The vendor helps take the Lustre parallel file system beyond high-performance computing to the mainstream.
