Steve Reinhardt, Vice President of Joint Research
Steve leads ISC's funded research efforts, where ISC works closely with leading-edge customers to finding new ways to make high-performance computing easier, more productive and more accessible to technical computing users. He is an innovator in the high performance computing industry, with accomplishments that span development of the first UNIX-based supercomputers at Cray Research Inc. in the mid-1980s to the pioneering of shared- and distributed-memory parallel programming environments. Steve has worked on parallel system designs for a number of notable projects, including as project director for the T3E project - considered by many to be one of the best parallel systems ever developed. He also helped lead development of SGI's Altix systems, which were the first strongly scalable supercomputers to be built from mass-market components (industry-standard Intel processors with the Linux operating system) and thereby affordable by a wider range of customers. Steve's major interests are in the integration of hardware, software, and application abilities to provide high system performance, and in providing easier software means to exploit the performance of highly parallel systems.
