Michael Haidl is a high performance computing engineer with focus on many core architectures that consist of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) and Intel Xeon Phi accelerators. He has been a C++ developer for more than 14 years, and has gained many skills in parallel programming, exploiting various programming models (CUDA) over the years. He has a diploma in computer science and physics. Currently, Michael is employed as a research associate at the University of Münster, Germany, and is writing his PhD thesis with focus on compilation techniques for GPUs utilizing the LLVM infrastructure.

Dave (Jing) Tian is a graduate research fellow and PhD student in the Department of Computer & Information Science & Engineering (CISE) at the University of Florida. He is a founding member of the SENSEI center. His research direction involves system security, embedded system security, trusted computing, static code analysis for security, and virtualization. He is interested in Linux kernel hacking and compiler hacking.

Dave spent a year on AI and machine learning, and taught Python and operating systems at the University of Oregon. Before that, he worked as a software developer in the LCP (Linux control platform) group in research and development at Alcatel-Lucent (formerly Lucent Technologies), for approximately 4 years. He holds a bachelor's degree in science and a master's degree in electronics engineering in China. You can reach him at <[email protected]> and visit his website http://davejingtian.org.
