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. We spend a lot of time optimizing large parallel codes written using MPI or OpenMP.
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 working for an automotive supplier in Detroit and then progressed on to Fedora Core when I began developing software and hardware for remote environmental data collection systems in Texas and never looked back. Today I work in the world of large clusters which typically run some form of RHEL (typically centOS).
