SynopsisBen is largely interested in systems programming, performance analysis, and high-performance computing. At Intel Corporation, he is a Cloud Software Engineer.BiographyDuring his Bachelor's degree, he interned for two years at the National Institute for Computational Sciences and participated in the Student Cluster Competition during SC'13 and SC'14. Next, he worked as a system administrator for Newton, which was a cluster of computers at the University of Tennessee. He wrote BASH and Perl scripts which compiled, installed, and set up environment modules for a lot of the software available on that system. During graduate school he worked under the advisement of Dr. Michael Jantz. Initially, the work required significantly patching the Linux kernel and the Hotspot JVM to support memory coloring, which the lab used to investigate potential power-saving techniques on homogeneous (DRAM-only) memory systems. He then began primarily researching memory management in heterogeneous memory systems. His research career began with several Oak Ridge National Laboratory internships advised by Terry Jones, who supported him with the SICM project. This work largely focused on automating memory management such that workloads could benefit from high-capacity non-volatile memories while maintaining performance. Near the end of his PhD program he interned for Intel, working with Kshitij Doshi as his mentor. Once graduated, he accepted an offer to start full-time, and now lives in beautiful Memphis, Tennessee with his wife and daughter. |
