Episode notes
In this episode of the Kronos Fusion Energy Podcast, we are joined by Jack Dongarra, one of the foundational architects of modern high-performance scientific computing and the 2021 winner of the ACM A.M. Turing Award, the highest honor in computer science.
Jack Dongarra is internationally recognized for his pioneering contributions to numerical linear algebra and high-performance computing, including the development of software libraries such as LINPACK and LAPACK, which form the mathematical backbone of much of today’s scientific computing ecosystem and tools like MATLAB. His career spans decades at the intersection of mathematics, computer science, and large-scale scientific simulation, with leadership roles across U.S. national laboratories and the Depar ...
