Dr. Pierre Lagier

Let's make it short: I started to punch holes in cards in 1975, got a PhD in Distributed Computing some years after and signed for a first job at the Software Engineering Institue in Paris. Since, I worked at the National Space Agency (CNES) on the design of Satellite Control Centre, followed by first true HPC job as HPC Analyst at Alliant Computer in Boston in the late 80's, and finally joined Fujtisu, after starting working in Japan on message passing technology and performance analysis tools, I came back to Toulouse where I still devote my days (and sometimes nights) to High Performance Computing. Currently working on something as simple and powerful as the equation "1 / φ = φ - 1"...
