Katarzyna Keahey is a Senior Computer Scientist at Argonne National Laboratory and the Consortium for Advanced Science and Engineering (CASE) of the University of Chicago. [9] She is a Principal Investigator (PI) of the Chameleon project, which provides an innovative experimentation platform for computer science systems experiments. [10] She created Nimbus, one of the first open source implementations of infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), and co-founded the SoftwareX journal, publishing software as a scientific instrument. [5] [11] [2]

Education

Keahey attended the Gdańsk University of Technology where she obtained her magister inżynier in informatics in 1992. She received her M.S. in computer science at Indiana University Bloomington in 1994, and later went on to earn her Ph.D. in computer science at Indiana University in 1998. [12] Her Ph.D. dissertation was titled, An Architecture for Application-Level Parallel Distributed Computation, and was supervised by Dennis Gannon.

Research

Her research interests include cloud computing, [1] [13] resource management, [7] [14] in particular the exploration of how cloud and high-performance/scientific resources can co-exist and complement each other, [8] [15] [16] infrastructure operation, [3] and Internet of Things (IoT)/cloud continuum. She is currently developing methods that support capturing, replicating, and publishing experiments digitally. [3]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Supercomputer</span> Type of extremely powerful computer

A supercomputer is a type of computer with a high level of performance as compared to a general-purpose computer. The performance of a supercomputer is commonly measured in floating-point operations per second (FLOPS) instead of million instructions per second (MIPS). Since 2017, supercomputers have existed which can perform over 1017 FLOPS (a hundred quadrillion FLOPS, 100 petaFLOPS or 100 PFLOPS). For comparison, a desktop computer has performance in the range of hundreds of gigaFLOPS (1011) to tens of teraFLOPS (1013). Since November 2017, all of the world's fastest 500 supercomputers run on Linux-based operating systems. Additional research is being conducted in the United States, the European Union, Taiwan, Japan, and China to build faster, more powerful and technologically superior exascale supercomputers.

Grid computing is the use of widely distributed computer resources to reach a common goal. A computing grid can be thought of as a distributed system with non-interactive workloads that involve many files. Grid computing is distinguished from conventional high-performance computing systems such as cluster computing in that grid computers have each node set to perform a different task/application. Grid computers also tend to be more heterogeneous and geographically dispersed than cluster computers. Although a single grid can be dedicated to a particular application, commonly a grid is used for a variety of purposes. Grids are often constructed with general-purpose grid middleware software libraries. Grid sizes can be quite large.
