Steve Reinhardt has worked on parallel system design issues for several projects, ranging from software project leader for the Cray T3D project to product team leader for SGI’s Altix system to co-principal investigator for SGI’s HPCS Phase I project to software/performance lead on SGI’s next-generation Ultraviolet project. Currently he is working as a Principal Engineer at SGI on the application of Star-P to computationally demanding problems, especially graph analysis and pattern discovery. His main interests are the integration of hardware, software, and application abilities to provide high system performance, and the development of easier software means, like programming models and job scheduling, to exploit the performance of highly parallel systems.
