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
400 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, HSE
and RDMA over Converged Enhanced Ethernet (RoCE). 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
MVAPICH2 (High Performance MPI over InfiniBand, iWARP and RoCE)
open-source software
package, developed by his research group, are currently being used by more than
2,775 organizations worldwide (in 85 countries). This software has enabled
several InfiniBand clusters (including the 1st one) to get into the latest
TOP500 ranking. More than 419,000 downloads of
these libraries have taken place from the project's site.
These software packages are also available with the
stacks for network vendors (InfiniBand and iWARP), server vendors and
Linux distributors. The RDMA-enabled Apache Hadoop, Spark
and Memcached packages, consisting of
acceleration for HDFS, MapReduce, RPC, Spark and Memcached, are publicly available from High-Performance Big Data (HiBD) project site:
http://hibd.cse.ohio-state.edu. These packages are currently being
used by more than 230 organizations in 30 countries. More than 21,950
downloads have taken place from the project's site.
Dr. Panda's research is supported
by funding from US National Science Foundation, US Department of Energy,
US Department of Defense, and
several industry including Intel, Cisco, SUN, Mellanox, Microsoft, QLogic, NVIDIA and
NetApp. He is an IEEE Fellow and a member of ACM. More details about Dr.
Panda, including a comprehensive CV and publications are available here.

Dr. Xiaoyi Lu
is a Research Scientist
of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Ohio
State University, USA. His current research interests include high
performance interconnects and protocols, Big Data, Hadoop/Spark/Memcached
Ecosystem, Parallel Computing Models (MPI/PGAS), Virtualization and
Cloud Computing. He has published over 80 papers in International
journals and conferences related to these research areas. He has been
actively involved in various professional activities (PC Co-Chair, PC
Member, Reviewer, Session Chair) in academic journals and
conferences. Recently, Dr. Lu is leading the research
and development of
RDMA-based accelerations for Apache Hadoop, Spark, HBase, and Memcached, and OSU HiBD
micro-benchmarks, which are publicly available from
(http://hibd.cse.ohio-state.edu). These libraries are currently being
used by more than 230 organizations from 30 countries. More than
21,950 downloads of these libraries have taken place from the project
site. He is a core member of the
MVAPICH2 (High Performance MPI over InfiniBand, iWARP and RoCE)
project and he is leading the
research and development of MVAPICH2-Virt (high-performance and scalable MPI for hypervisor and container based HPC cloud).
He is a member of IEEE and ACM. More
details about Dr. Lu are available at here.
