Jack Dongarra

Jack Dongarra Joseph ( born July 18, 1951) is an American mathematician and computer scientist who deals with numerical linear algebra, parallel computing and algorithms and programming tools for high performance computing and applies in these areas as a leading international expert.

Dongarra studied at the Chicago State University ( Bachelor in Mathematics 1972) and the Illinois Institute of Technology (Master 's degree in computer science 1973). In 1980 he received his doctorate in applied mathematics from the University of New Mexico at Cleve Moler Barry ( Improving the accuracy of computed matrix Eigenvalues ​​). From 1980 he was a Senior Scientist and 1989 Distinguished Scientist of the Argonne National Laboratory. From 1989 he was Distinguished Professor of computer science at the University of Tennessee. He is also an adjunct professor at Rice University.

Dongarra contributed among other things to the program packages EISPACK, LINPACK, the BLAS, LAPACK, ScaLAPACK, Netlib, Parallel Virtual Machine ( PVM ) Message Passing Interface (MPI), NetSolve, benchmarks the Top500, Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software ( ATLAS ) and performance Application Programming Interface ( PAPI ) at.

He is a Fellow of the IEEE, the Association for Computing Machinery, the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the National Academy of Engineering.

He is married to Susan Sauer since 1980 and has three children.
