Helped grow IBM Research – India into a world class lab with about two hundred researchers working in areas like mobile computing, business analytics, software engineering, systems management, high performance computing, and information management. Led the IBM Research activities across the world in the Mobile Web area. The lab became well known for major innovations in global service delivery and solutions for emerging markets. Some examples are Spoken Web (a platform for building the equivalent of the world-wide web using the spoken word in a telecom network), which received the 2009 National Award from President of India for Empowering Persons with Disability, Voice of Customer Analytics, which became a CRM offering from the IBM GPS business CaaTS for cleansing data in the Indian context (later adopted globally), and SNAzzy for social networking analysis. Our work had very significant impact on IBM business (recognized through IBM Research Division Accomplishments) and our people received thirteen best paper awards at international conferences between 2009 and 2012. 

IBM India Systems and Technology Laboratory, Bangalore, India.
Chief Technology Officer, April 2006-April 2008.
Responsible for setting the technical strategy of the IBM Systems and Technology Lab in India. During this period, the lab grew from 500 to over 1200 people working on IBM server and storage products. Helped initiate several strategic projects in the system software area and helped establish the Semiconductor Research and Development Center (previously located only in the US) at Bangalore, which became highly successful. Also managed the Lab Services group, which was responsible for helping customers in India adopt IBM technologies, and influenced significant IBM revenue. Interacted with and made presentations to senior executives from over a hundred companies. Gave technical presentations and established relationships with over twenty top universities in India.

IBM T. J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, New York.
Research Staff Member, September 1992 – April 2006.

Senior Manager, Emerging System Software (Most Recent Position)

  • Led a department with about 30 people conducting research in different areas related to system software for high performance servers. Responsible for IBM Research strategy on Deep Computing Software. Worked closely with partners in IBM Systems and Technology Group and IBM customers. Key projects included:
  • Blue Gene: Led the development of software for the Blue Gene/L system, which successfully scaled to unprecedented levels of over a hundred thousand processors, and dominated the supercomputing landscape when it was introduced, accounting for 5 of the Top 10 systems in the June 2005 TOP500 list of supercomputers. Helped transform Blue Gene/L from a research project into a successful product offering from IBM. The third generation system in this series, Blue Gene/Q, accounts for 2 of the fastest 6 machines in the world today, as per the latest TOP500 list from June 2016.
  • End-to-end performance for high end servers: Led the team in research on end-to-end performance of J2EE workloads on IBM POWER based servers, leading to significant improvements in the performance of WebSphere Application Server benchmarks on POWER4 and POWER5 based systems.
  • HPC Toolkit: Led the team that developed the HPC Toolkit, a performance toolkit for IBM System p and Blue Gene parallel systems. This toolkit includes a CPU profiler, hardware performance monitor library, MPI tracer, simulator for memory analysis, and an integrated performance visualizer. The toolkit was used by over 250 IBM customers.

Manager, High Performance Programming Environments.
Led research in compilers for high performance computing and Java Virtual Machine optimizations. Key projects included:

  • Java Virtual Machine optimizations : Pioneered the development of optimizations like escape analysis for Java, type based garbage collection and data locality enhancements, optimizing Java codes in the presence of precise exceptions, and improving the security performance of J2EE codes.
  • Numerically Intensive Java (NINJA): Demonstrated techniques that improved the performance of numerically intensive Java codes by one to two orders of magnitude. The new techniques included creating exception-free and alias-free regions of computations, design of a multidimensional array package for Java, and semantic expansion of method calls.
     

Research Staff Member, Parallel Translators (PTRAN) Group.

  • HPF Compiler: Was one of the leading contributors to development of the IBM High Performance Fortran (XL HPF) compiler for the IBM SP2 parallel system.
