Keynote Speaker Portrait

Michael Gerndt received a Ph.D. in Computer Science in 1989 from the University of Bonn. He developed the first automatic parallelizer for distributed memory parallel machines. For two years, in 1990 and 1991, he held a post-doc position at the University of Vienna and joined Research Centre Jülich in 1992, where he concentrated on programming and implementation issues of shared virtual memory systems. This research led to his Habilitation in 1998 at TU Munich. Since 2000 he has been Professor of Architecture of Parallel and Distributed Systems at TU Munich. His current research focuses on automatic performance analysis tools and SLA-based resource management for Grids.
