Biographical Sketch

James Botts earned his Ph.D in High Energy Theory from Stony Brook University. He subsequently worked at the University of Washington, Illinois Institute of Technology and DESY-IfH Zeuthen and has published papers on perturbative QCD. He was maintainer of the source code used to generate the early CTEQ parton distributions. Before joining NERSC, James was Director of Professional Services of Penguin Computing and was primarily focused on high performance Linux clustering.

As the DOE Office of Science's mission computing facility, NERSC will follow this roadmap and deploy these new storage technologies to continue delivering storage resources that meet the needs of its broad user community. NERSC's diversity of workflows encompass significant portions of open science workloads as well, and the findings presented in this report are also intended to be a blueprint for how the evolving storage landscape can be best utilized by the greater HPC community. Executing the strategy presented here will ensure that emerging I/O technologies will be both applicable to and effective in enabling scientific discovery through extreme-scale simulation and data analysis in the coming decade.
