Bio:
Myron Ginsberg has over twenty-five years of
experience in high-performance computing (HPC) in
government research labs (U.S. Army Research Lab,
NASA Electronics Research Center, NASA Langley
Research Center), academia (U of Iowa, Southern
Methodist U, U of Michigan), and private industry
(General Motors Research, EDS High-Performance
Computing Group, HPC automotive consultant). He has
a B.A. and M. A. in mathematics and a Ph.D. in
computer science. Dr. Ginsberg has served as a
national speaker on high-performance computing for
ACM, SIAM, IEEE, ASME, Sigma Xi, and SAE. He is the
first person in the world automotive industry to
be honored as an ACM Fellow for "Pioneering and
Sustained Contributions to Supercomputing Research
and Its Application to the Automotive Industry in
addition to Distinguished Teaching and Service in
High-Performance Computing." He has published
extensively in the open HPC literature and has
edited four volumes on supercomputing for SAE.
All talks can be given to both general and technical
audiences; available topics in HPC can be tailored
to the needs of a specific audience.
