Biography
Pete Beckman is 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. Pete coordinates the
collaborative research activities in extreme-scale computing between the US
Department of Energy and Japan’s ministry of education, science, and technology,
and leads the Argo project for extreme-scale operating systems and run-time
software. He is the founder and leader of the Waggle project to build
intelligent attentive sensors. The Waggle technology and software framework is
being used by the Chicago Array of Things project to deploy 500 sensors on the
streets of Chicago beginning in 2016. Dr Beckman has a Ph.D. in computer
science from Indiana University (1993) and a BA in Computer Science, Physics,
and Math from Anderson University (1985).
