BARRY PERLMAN

Familiarity with all layers of abstraction from distributed objects to microcode... Project leader for integrating CM5 massively parallel supercomputer with Sun workstations. Created architecture and detailed design of new message passing system, and extended CM5 process model to include asynchronous workstation processes. System comprises daemons, libraries, and zero-copy drivers. Led team of five engineers from specification through field installation... Distributed shared memory: Defined, designed, and implemented scalable shared memory for large number of widely dispersed processes. Defined new semantics from first principles to improve functionality and reduce complexity from previous system ("Spline"). Objects in shared memory are Java objects.
