KEYNOTE: Super Computing, Evolution of the Grid
Dr. Steven J. Wallach, Chiaro Networks

Steven J. Wallach is currently the Vice President of Technology for Chiaro Networks, an adviser to CenterPoint ventures partners and a consultant to the US DOE ASCI program. Previous he was co-founder of Convex Computers, their Chief Technology Officer and senior Vice President of Development. After Hewlett-Packard bought Convex, Wallach became the chief technology officer of the large systems group. He was also a visiting professor at Rice University 1998-1999. Prior to Convex, he was the Manager of Advanced Development for Data General. His efforts on the MV/8000 are chronicled in “The Soul of a New Machine”. Wallach has 33 patents and is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, an IEEE Fellow and was a founding member of PITAC (The Presidential Information Technology Advisory Committee). He is currently is a member of the National Academy study of the future of supercomputing. Additionally he is a member of the NSF SCI (Shared Cyber Infrastructure) and NSF DTF (Distributed Terascale Facility) review teams.
