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.
