Dr. Dhabaleswar K. (DK) Panda is a Professor of Computer Science at the Ohio State University. He obtained his Ph.D. in computer engineering from the University of Southern California. His research interests include parallel computer architecture, high performance computing, communication protocols, files systems, network-based computing, and Quality of Service. He has published over 245 papers in major journals and international conferences related to these research areas. Dr. Panda and his research group members have been doing extensive research on modern networking technologies including InfiniBand and 10GigE/iWARP. His research group is currently collaborating with National Laboratories and leading InfiniBand and 10GigE/iWARP companies on designing various subsystems of next generation high-end systems. The MVAPICH/MVAPICH2 (High Performance MPI over InfiniBand and iWARP) open-source software packages, developed by his research group, are currently being used by more than 715 organizations worldwide (in 42 countries). This software has enabled several InfiniBand clusters (including the 4th ranked one) to get into the latest TOP500 ranking. These software packages are also available with the Open Fabrics stack for network vendors (InfiniBand and iWARP), server vendors and Linux distributors. Dr. Panda's research is supported by funding from US National Science Foundation, US Department of Energy, and several industry including Intel, Cisco, SUN, Mellanox, NetApp and Linux Networx. He is an IEEE Fellow and a member of ACM. A complete CV of Dr. Panda is available from here.
