John Lockman III (j0hn)

About me

My name is John Lockman. I live in Austin Texas, U.S.A. and work as a High Performance Computing Specialist with the Texas Advanced Computing Center where I collaborate with the Performance Evaluation and Optimization group. Other fun things I do at work:

  • Teach courses in scientific computing and utilizing HPC resources
  • Support users on our clusters
  • Build packages (rpm)
  • Benchmark and test new hardware

I also do some research and publish papers in the areas of:

  • Scheduling large collectives using Artificial Immune System algorithms
  • Real-time Stereo Vision techniques


Why Fedora?

I'm a big fan of the Fedora project, I got my start in the Unix/Linux world using FreeBSD in the late 90's and then progressed on to Fedora Core when I began developing software and hardware for remote environmental data collection systems and never looked back. Today I work in the world of large clusters which typically run some form of RHEL (typically centOS).
