Harvey Richardson

Harvey Richardson began his career with research roles after being awarded a Ph.D. in physics. As a researcher, he gained an interest in parallel computing through the use and management of AMD DAP and Meiko systems. In 1992 Harvey joined Thinking Machines Corporation providing on-site support for the national Connection Machine CM-200 service at the Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre (EPCC) in Edinburgh, Scotland. Harvey was responsible for user training, hardware, software, and application support. In 1998 Harvey joined the high-performance computing (HPC) benchmarking group of Sun Microsystems where he ran customer benchmarks to determine the suitability of products and their performance for customers' applications. Harvey joined Cray in 2010 to work on research projects, both directly with customers and in larger research collaborations such as the EU CRESTA, EPiGRAM and EPiGRAM-HS projects looking at technologies that can help take real applications to exascale. Harvey has developed and taught many training courses and workshops. He has also developed various profiling and benchmarking tools. Harvey has particular interests in computer architecture and performance, programming models, and language standards. He is currently a principle research engineer at the HPE HPC/AI EMEA Research Lab.
