Director, Exascale Technology and Computing Institute
Co-Director, Northwestern-Argonne Institute for Science and Engineering
Pete Beckman is the founder and director of the Exascale Technology and Computing Institute at Argonne National Laboratory and the co-director of the Northwestern-Argonne Institute for Science and Engineering. From 2008-2010 he was the director of the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility, where he led the Argonne team working with IBM on the design of Mira, a 10 petaflop Blue Gene/Q, and helped found the International Exascale Software Project.
Pete joined Argonne in 2002, serving first as director of engineering and later as chief architect for the TeraGrid, where he led the design and deployment team that created the world's most powerful Grid computing system for linking production HPC computing centers for the National Science Foundation. After the TeraGrid became fully operational, Pete started a research team focusing on petascale high-performance system software.
As an industry leader, he founded a Turbolinux-sponsored research laboratory in 2000 that developed the world's first dynamic provisioning system for cloud computing and HPC clusters. The following year, Pete became vice president of Turbolinux's worldwide engineering efforts, managing development offices in the U.S., Japan, China, Korea, and Slovenia.
Dr. Beckman has a Ph.D. in computer science from Indiana University (1993) and a B.A. in Computer Science, Physics, and Math from Anderson University (1985).

Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services—servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics and more—over the Internet (“the cloud”). Companies offering these computing services are called cloud providers and typically charge for cloud computing services based on usage, similar to how you are billed for water or electricity at home. You are already in cloud when you watch movies online, TV online, send emails, create documents online, store your pc and mobile data online and many more things being as an individual or working in organizations handling company’s datacenter as a couple of examples. Mobile companies also provide a partial cloud computing feature to store your contact details and other data on their datacenter so their subscribers can retrieve their data from anywhere on their mobile phones.
Just some practice. I know I could've done better on this, but I guess I was just being lazy. Anyways, I've made a little story for this picture.
The girl's father, Cees (meaning kingly, powerful; or, horn of the sun), was a scientist trying to make the world a better place through technology. When the girl, Hannes (meaning Jehovah's gift, or grace), was just four years old her family got in a car accident. Hannes parents were okay, but she had taken a serious injury to the head. She could no longer control her body, but she could still think. Cees was desperate, and believing that no person's mind should go to waste, created a digital world. Cees connected Hannes to the HANNESX97 machine which allowed her to control her digital self in the computer.Hannes is now thirteen, and Cees is still working on the HANNESX97's digital world to make it a better place for Hannes. He didn't want her to be lonely so he created the Katu. They are friendly creatures all with a different personality so Hannes would never get bored. Hannes mother writes to her a lot. She home schools Hannes through the machine. Cees plans on finishing the machine by 2015 and hopes to make it available to people just like Hannes.
So yeah... I hope you like it.
Here we were simulating the scheduling of tasks for a processor in the “Doing a Million Things at Once” workshop.

Hotswappable compute modules. Labels on each unit read: "AMD 64 Opteron", "CRAY XT4 COMPUTE MODULE", "XT4 CPM2", "P/N 1000075300", "2.3 Quad Core / 2GB (800) / 16", "RELEASE LEVER TO INITIATE HOT SWAP". Each is labelled with a unique numeric identifier, "04 01", "04 02", etc. from bottom to top and left to right. Each also has a strip of paper with a unique alphanumeric string taped to it. Most units are labelled "2.2 MEZZ", while some are labelled "2.1 MEZZ". Each unit includes a white RS-232 serial port, probably for some type of management device.

Before the Internet, there was.. computer magazines. Perhaps it's difficult to understand the importance of computer magazines, but when home computing started in the UK, the only way to keep in touch with what was happening was through the many different titles that were on newsagent's shelves. What better way to spend a weekend was there than browsing through the various titles in the local newsies. Well, talking to girls might have been better, but that seemed even harder than writing a working version of PacMan using only the O and inverted " symbols in less than 8Kb.
Reading about the new systems, and typing in "listings" as software was known in those days, consumed most of my waking hours back in the early 1980s. This is an early "Popular Computing Weekly", which in those days focused on the ZX81 (known in the US as the Timex 1000 I believe) and Vic20 computers. The ZX Spectrum was just launched (colour! sound! rubbery keyboard!) but I couldn't afford one.
Of course, many of today's highly employable nerds got their careers started by writing for these magazine. It was around this time my own first article was published (a game for the ZX81), and the rest is history.
In later years, I happened to write one of the first articles in a major-selling UK magazine about the coming wonder that was the Internet, but I am happy to admit that I didn't really get it - Mosaic seemed cool, but Gopher was more useful. That said, it didn't take long to realize that computer magazines would never have the importance they once had.
