Brock Palen and Jeff Squyres speak with Mike Heroux and Jim Willenbring of Sandia National Lab. about Trilinos. The Trilinos Project is an effort to develop algorithms and enabling technologies within an object-oriented software framework for the solution of large-scale, complex multi-physics engineering and scientific problems. Jim Willenbring is a staff member at Sandia National Laboratories and has worked on the Trilinos Project since 2002. He is the Trilinos Framework and Tools Capability Area Leader. His contribution to the project is focused on Trilinos level coordination, planning and improvement, as well as build system, testing, and porting issues. Jim holds a B.S. in Mathematics/Computer Science from St. John's University (MN), and a M.S. in Computer Science from St. Cloud State University. Mike Heroux is a staff member at Sandia National Laboratories, working on new algorithm development, and robust parallel implementation of solver components. He leads the Trilinos Project. Mike also works on the development of scalable parallel scientific and engineering applications and and leads the Mantevo project, which is focused on the development of Open Source, portable miniapplications and minidrivers for scientific and engineering applications. Mike works remotely for Sandia, maintaining an office at home in rural central Minnesota and at St. John's University where he is Scientist in Residence in the Computer Science Department. He is a member of SIAM, and Associate Editor for the SIAM SISC journal. He is a member and Distinguished Scientist in ACM and is the Editor-in-Chief of the ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software.

Brock Palen and Jeff Squyres speak with Travis Oliphant of Enthought Inc. about NumPy. NumPy is a package needed for scientific computing with Python. Travis has worked extensively with Python for numerical and scientific programming since 1997. He was the primary developer of the NumPy package and the author of the definitive Guide to NumPy. He was an early contributor to the documentation for the Numeric package and in 1999 released Multipack for Python. In 2001, he folded Multipack into SciPy as one of the original co-authors of that package. He holds B.S. and M.S. degrees from Brigham Young University in Math and Electrical Engineering, and he received a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the Mayo Clinic in 2001. From December 2000 to August 2007 he worked as an Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Brigham Young University where he also directed the Biomedical Imaging Lab and taught courses in inverse problems, signal processing, probability theory, and electromagnetics.

Brock Palen and Jeff Squyres speak with Paul Millar about dCache. Paul Millar has been working as a senior programmer within the dCache.org team for three years. Coming from a physics background, Paul worked on various WLCG data-focused grid projects at the University of Glasgow, Scotland, before joining the dCache team at DESY in Hamburg, Germany. dCache software is deployed at multiple sites internationally which, combined, provide over 40% of CERN's current storage (127 PiB). Therefore, Paul not only concentrates on improving dCache software and working on various Grid standards but also provides support for the sites using dCache. When not writing code and catching up with emails, Paul enjoys running and playing the piano (although not at the same time). RCE 47: ITAPS Interoperable Tools for Advanced Petascale Simulations

Brock Palen and Jeff Squyres speak with Mark Shepard, Tim Tautges andCarl Ollivier-Gooch about ITAPS (Interoperable Technologies for Advanced Petascale Simulations). Carl Ollivier-Gooch is a professor in the department of mechanical engineering at The University of British Columbia, where he is a member of UBC's Institute for Applied Mathematics and Institute for Computing, Information, and Cognitive Systems. His research interests are in high-order numerical methods for aircraft aerodynamics and in unstructured mesh generation. He has also won national and provincial awards for research that applies aerodynamics to the pulp and paper industry. He is a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the American Institute for Aeronautics and Astronautics, and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. Timothy Tautges is a Computational Scientist in the Mathematics and Computer Science division at Argonne National Laboratory. He also holds an appointment as Adjunct Professor in Engineering Physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Tim was trained in nuclear engineering with an emphasis on parallel computing. After receiving his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin (thesis topic: parallel nuclear severe accident simulation), he worked on severe accident modeling at the CEC Joint Research Center, Ispra, Italy, and Sandia National Laboratories. Later he joined and eventually lead the Cubit mesh generation project at Sandia. Tim's research interests include unstructured hexahedral mesh generation and component-based application of mesh and geometry in scientific computing applications. He is responsible for the development and open-source releases of the Common Geometry Module (CGM) and a Mesh-Oriented datABase (MOAB). After moving to Argonne in 2006, Tim took on the responsibility for mesh and geometry infrastructure for the SHARP reactor simulation project. He also is the Argonne Principle Investigator on the SciDAC ITAPS project. Mark S. Shephard is the Samuel A. and Elisabeth C. Johnson, Jr. Professor of Engineering, and the director of the Scientific Computation Research Center at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He holds joint appointments in the departments of Mechanical, Aerospace and Nuclear Engineering; Civil and Environmental Engineering; and Computer Science. Dr. Shephard has published over 250 papers. He is a fellow in and the past President of the US Association for Computational Mechanics, a fellow and member of the General Council of the International Association for Computational Mechanics, a fellow of ASME and an Associate Fellow of AIAA. He is the editor of Engineering with Computers and on the editorial board of six computational mechanics journals. He is a co-founder of Simmetrix Inc., a company dedicated to the technologies that enable simulation-based engineering. RCE SE: Student Cluster Champions 2010
