Biography

Scott Lloyd received a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Brigham Young University and has broad experience in industry. His most recent work at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory involved research with advanced memory systems and accelerators. Scott co-founded a parallel-processing company (which became Linux Networx), worked with diagnostic imaging at GE Medical Systems, and investigated processor-in-memory architecture at Micron Technology. His research interests include high-performance computing, near-memory accelerators, computer architecture, and reconfigurable computing.
