Mike Welcome
[contact
info]
Mike came to NERSC from the Future Technologies Group in CRD, where he worked on two projects: porting GASNet via PORTALS to the Cray XT3/4 and performance optimizations on a class of multigrid solvers for AMR used in combustion and type 1a supernovae simulations. Mike's experiences in HPC software development, multi-threaded C programming, and complex software debugging directly apply to NERSC's involvement in the HPSS software development collaboration. Mike primarily helps the group in its efforts to define a specific and more major role in HPSS development.
