Brock Palen and Jeff Squyres speak with Mark Shepard, Tim Tautges andCarl Ollivier-Gooch about ITAPS (Interoperable Technologies for Advanced Petascale Simulations). Carl Ollivier-Gooch is a professor in the department of mechanical engineering at The University of British Columbia, where he is a member of UBC's Institute for Applied Mathematics and Institute for Computing, Information, and Cognitive Systems. His research interests are in high-order numerical methods for aircraft aerodynamics and in unstructured mesh generation. He has also won national and provincial awards for research that applies aerodynamics to the pulp and paper industry. He is a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the American Institute for Aeronautics and Astronautics, and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. Timothy Tautges is a Computational Scientist in the Mathematics and Computer Science division at Argonne National Laboratory. He also holds an appointment as Adjunct Professor in Engineering Physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Tim was trained in nuclear engineering with an emphasis on parallel computing. After receiving his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin (thesis topic: parallel nuclear severe accident simulation), he worked on severe accident modeling at the CEC Joint Research Center, Ispra, Italy, and Sandia National Laboratories. Later he joined and eventually lead the Cubit mesh generation project at Sandia. Tim's research interests include unstructured hexahedral mesh generation and component-based application of mesh and geometry in scientific computing applications. He is responsible for the development and open-source releases of the Common Geometry Module (CGM) and a Mesh-Oriented datABase (MOAB). After moving to Argonne in 2006, Tim took on the responsibility for mesh and geometry infrastructure for the SHARP reactor simulation project. He also is the Argonne Principle Investigator on the SciDAC ITAPS project. Mark S. Shephard is the Samuel A. and Elisabeth C. Johnson, Jr. Professor of Engineering, and the director of the Scientific Computation Research Center at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He holds joint appointments in the departments of Mechanical, Aerospace and Nuclear Engineering; Civil and Environmental Engineering; and Computer Science. Dr. Shephard has published over 250 papers. He is a fellow in and the past President of the US Association for Computational Mechanics, a fellow and member of the General Council of the International Association for Computational Mechanics, a fellow of ASME and an Associate Fellow of AIAA. He is the editor of Engineering with Computers and on the editorial board of six computational mechanics journals. He is a co-founder of Simmetrix Inc., a company dedicated to the technologies that enable simulation-based engineering. RCE 46: dCache

Brock Palen and Jeff Squyres speak with Paul Millar about dCache. Paul Millar has been working as a senior programmer within the dCache.org team for three years. Coming from a physics background, Paul worked on various WLCG data-focused grid projects at the University of Glasgow, Scotland, before joining the dCache team at DESY in Hamburg, Germany. dCache software is deployed at multiple sites internationally which, combined, provide over 40% of CERN's current storage (127 PiB). Therefore, Paul not only concentrates on improving dCache software and working on various Grid standards but also provides support for the sites using dCache. When not writing code and catching up with emails, Paul enjoys running and playing the piano (although not at the same time). RCE SE: Student Cluster Champions 2010

Brock Palen and Jeff Squyres speak with Daniel Templeton of Oracle about Grid Engine formally known as Sun Grid Engine. Daniel Templeton is the product manager for the Oracle Grid Engine product. He has been at Oracle/Sun for over a decade and worked previously as one of the Grid Engine developers. Daniel is a co-chair of the DRMAA working group in the OGF and an active Grid Engine evangelist. When not filling the role of jungle gym for his kids, Daniel enjoys playing chess and Doppelkopf. And occasionally, when no one's looking, he still manages to write some code. RCE 43: PADB

Brock Palen and Jeff Squyres Ashley Pittman of the padb (http://padb.pittman.org.uk) project, a 'Job Inspection Tool' for parallel computing. Ashley Pittman (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) is the main developer of padb and has been leading the project since it started in 2003. He has worked in HPC since he was an undergraduate and considers himself unusual in being a computer scientist in a field dominated by physicists and chemists. His experience is primarily in networking and MPI, which has afforded him access to a wide variety of clusters from the small to the very large. His professional interests include novel approaches to parallel algorithms and research into programming paradigms. RCE 42: HPC in the Cloud
