Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Jarek Nieplocha is a Laboratory Fellow and Deputy Director of Computational Sciences and Mathematics Division of the Fundamental and Computational Science Directorate at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). He is also the Chief Scientist for High Performance Computing in Computational Sciences and Mathematics Division. He leads Advanced Computing Technology Laboratory at PNNL.
His area of research has been in collective and one-sided communication on modern networks, runtime systems, parallel I/O, scalable programming models, multithreading architectures and, and component technology for scientific computing. He has led development of Global Arrays, a portable shared memory programming toolkit widely used in scalable computational chemistry applications and other areas, and the ARMCI runtime system for global address space programming models.
