Dr. Stephen L. Scott

Dr. Stephen L. Scott is a research scientist in the Network and Cluster Computing Group of the Computer Science and Mathematics Division of Oak Ridge National Laboratory - USA. Stephen’s responsibilities include research and development efforts in high performance scalable cluster computing. Primary research interest is in experimental systems with a focus on high performance, scalable, distributed, heterogeneous, and parallel computing. Stephen is a founding member and on the steering committee of The Open Cluster Group (OCG), a consortium of research and industry dedicated to making cluster computing practical for high performance computing. He is also a founding member, version two release manager, and past working group chair of the OCG’s primary working group, Open Source Cluster Application Resources (OSCAR). This working group is dedicated to bringing current "best practices" in cluster computing to all users via a self-installing software suite. He is also a contributor to the Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) and Heterogeneous Adaptable Reconfigurable NEtworked SystemS (HARNESS) research efforts at ORNL. Stephen has a Ph.D. and M.S. in computer science and is a member of ACM, IEEE Computer, and the IEEE Task Force on Cluster Computing.
