Jonathan Beard

I'm currently a Senior Research Engineer at ARM Ltd., in Austin, Texas. I'm developing the next generation compute technologies for HPC. I also continue to work on the optimization of stream based parallel processing systems. Prior to that, I worked as a research assistant while completing my doctoral work under the research direction of Dr. Roger Chamberlain at Washington University in St. Louis in the Stream Based Supercomputing Lab. My thesis work centered around methodologies necessary to model stream based computation platforms while they are executing (online).

In 2013 I was selected as a Google Scholar through the Google-SVA scholarship program (contact me if you want info). I'm also currently a member of several special interest groups and societies: ACM Upsilon Pi Epsilon (academic honor society), IEEE Computer Society, ACM SIGMETRICS, ACM SIGSIM, and ACM SIGCSE.

I'm interested in computation on diverse architectures, acceleration of computationally intense applications and optimization of streaming algorithms on heterogeneous systems. This includes architecture, languages, theoretical foundations, and engineering solutions to parallel systems.
