Presenter

Adrian Jackson is a Research Architect at EPCC where he works on enabling computational simulation on very large parallel computers and novel hardware for research computing. He has recently led the architecture design for the European funded NEXTGenIO, creating an innovative new hardware and software solution for I/O at the peta- and exa-scale system level. He works closelt with end users and code developers in the past to port, optimise, and support large scale parallel applications on HPC services, including the UK National HPC service ARCHER (http://www.archer.ac.uk). He is jointly responsible for the HPC and software development training programme delivered by EPCC for the ARCHER HPC service, which provides 72 days of training a year for the UK academic computational simulation community.
