Turing Award for pioneering contributions to numerical algorithms and software that have driven decades of extraordinary progress in computing performance and applications. He is a Fellow of the AAAS, ACM, IEEE, and SIAM and a foreign member of the British Royal Society, and a US National Academy of Engineering member.
Duncan Poole (through 2022)
Duncan Poole is director of platform alliances, for NVIDIA’s Accelerated Computing Division. He is responsible for driving partnerships where engineering interfaces are adopted by external parties who are building tools for accelerated computing. This includes operating systems, compilers, profilers, debuggers, performance analysis tools, compute and communications libraries. Duncan is also the president of OpenACC, and responsible for NVIDIA’s membership in OpenMP. His goal is to encourage the adoption of accelerators by developers who want good performance and portability of their accelerated code.
