Jack Joseph DongarraFRS[8] (born July 18, 1950) is an American computer scientist and mathematician. He is a University Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Computer Science in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at the University of Tennessee.[9] He holds the position of a Distinguished Research Staff member in the Computer Science and Mathematics Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Turing Fellowship in the School of Mathematics at the University of Manchester, and is an adjunct professor and teacher in the Computer Science Department at Rice University.[10] He served as a faculty fellow at the Texas A&M University Institute for Advanced Study (2014–2018).[11] Dongarra is the founding director of the Innovative Computing Laboratory at the University of Tennessee.[12] He was the recipient of the Turing Award in 2021.
With Eric Grosse, Dongarra pioneered the distribution via email and the web of numeric open-source code collected in Netlib. He has published approximately 300 articles, papers, reports, and technical memoranda, and he is the co-author of several books. He holds appointments with Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Manchester, where he has served as a Turing Fellow since 2007.[16][17]
Awards and honors
In 2004, Dongarra was awarded the IEEE Sid Fernbach Award for his contributions in the application of high-performance computers using innovative approaches.[18] In 2008, he was the recipient of the first IEEE Medal of Excellence in Scalable Computing.[19] In 2010, Dongarra was the first recipient of the SIAM Activity Group on Supercomputing Career Prize.[20] In 2011, he was the recipient of the IEEE Computer Society Charles Babbage Award.[21] In 2013, he was the recipient of the ACM/IEEE Ken Kennedy Award for his leadership in designing and promoting standards for mathematical software used to solve numerical problems common to high-performance computing.[22] In 2019, Dongarra received the SIAM/ACM Prize in Computational Science.[8] In 2020, he received the IEEE Computer Pioneer Award for leadership in the area of high-performance mathematical software.[19]
