Tim Mattson is a parallel programmer (Ph.D. Chemistry, 1985). Tim retired in 2023 after a 30 year career with Intel where he worked on both software (MPI, OpenMP, OpenCL, RCCE, and OCR) and hardware/software co-design (ASCI Red, 80-core TFLOP chip, and the 48 core SCC). Tim’s academic collaborations include work on the fundamental design patterns of parallel programming, polystore systems, the TileDB array storage manger, and building blocks for graphs “in the language of linear algebra” (the GraphBLAS). Currently, he focusses on writing (six books so far) and tutorials on different topics associated with the computational sciences.
