Terry Jones' Professional Activities and Affiliations

BioSketch

At Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), I am a Senior R&D staff member in the Computer Science and Mathematics Division (CSMD) where I investigate high-performance runtime systems and infrastructure software for parallel programming. My interests include the unique issues faced in High Performance Computing (HPC), especially issues surrounding the effective usage of large shared-memory and distributed-memory parallel machines (here's a highlight). I also have a background in the software design for scalable I/O architectures, and the software development of new parallel tools and libraries (here's one of my DOE funded projects). My distributed systems work has motivated my research interest in precision synchronized time protocols and technology (here's a highlight).

Prior to coming to ORNL, I worked for Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory as a Computer Scientist and Bell Helicopter as a software engineer and PA Incorporated as a physicist/programmer.

I earned a Master's degree in Computer Science from Stanford University and a Bachelors degree in Physics from Southwestern Oklahoma State University.
