[CSEE-colloq] talk: Mountain on Advanced Computing Systems research, 1pm Fri 9/7, UMBC

[Tim Finin]

			      COLLOQUIUM
	     Computer Science and Electrical Engineering
	       University of Maryland, Baltimore County

	   The Advanced Computing Systems Research Program

			  David J. Mountain
	 Technical Director, Center for Exceptional Computing

	    1:00pm Friday, 7 September 2012, ITE 227, UMBC

The Advanced Computing Systems (ACS) Research Program recently
relocated from Adelphi, Maryland, to the Research Park complex next to
UMBC.  What type of computing research does ACS focus on?  How is it
organized?  What opportunities for collaboration exist for UMBC?  This
talk will provide answers to these questions, explain how ACS tackles
its research challenges, and provide a sneak preview of upcoming ACS
presentations on specific research projects.

David J. Mountain is the Technical Director at the Center for
Exceptional Computing (CEC), a Department of Defense research
laboratory in the UMBC Research Park.  The mission of the CEC is to
collaborate with industry, academia, and the government to drive
innovative research that will impact advanced computing systems at the
multi-petaflop scale and beyond. His responsibilities include
directing research activities in technical thrusts including power
efficiency, chip IO, system level interconnects, file system IO,
productivity, and resilience.

Mr. Mountain’s personal research projects have included radiation
effects studies, hot carrier reliability characterization, and
chip-on-flex process development utilizing ultra-thin circuits.  He
has been actively involved with 3D electronics research for nearly two
decades.  Mr. Mountain is the author of seven papers, has been awarded
eight patents, and is a Senior Member of the IEEE.
