Jack Dongarra
Jack Joseph Dongarra (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 computers and is considered a leading international expert in these areas.
Life
Dongarra graduated from Chicago State University (bachelor's degree in mathematics 1972) and the Illinois Institute of Technology (master's degree in computer science 1973). In 1980 he received his PhD in applied mathematics from the University of New Mexico with Cleve Barry Moler ( Improving the Accuracy of computed Matrix Eigenvalues ). From 1980 he was Senior Scientist and from 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 to the program packages EISPACK , LINPACK , BLAS , LAPACK , ScaLAPACK , Netlib , Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM), Message Passing Interface (MPI), NetSolve , Benchmarks of the Top500 , Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software (ATLAS) and Performance Application Programming Interface (PAPI).
He is a Fellow of the IEEE , the Association for Computing Machinery , the American Association for the Advancement of Science , the National Academy of Engineering, and the Royal Society . In 2003 he received the Sidney Fernbach Award , in 2020 the Computer Pioneer Award .
He has been married to Susan Sauer since 1980 and has three children.
