Synergistic Activities

Dongarra specializes in numerical algorithms in linear algebra, parallel computing, use of advanced-computer architectures, programming methodology, and tools for parallel computers. His research includes the development, testing, and documentation of high quality mathematical software. He has contributed to the design and implementation of Open Source software packages EISPACK, LINPACK, the BLAS, LAPACK, ScaLAPACK, Netlib, PVM, MPI, NetSolve, ATLAS, and PAPI all of which have become professional and industrial standards. He has published approximately 200 articles, papers, reports, and technical memoranda, and he is coauthor of several books. He was named a fellow of the AAAS in 1995, of the IEEE in 1999, and of the ACM in 2001, and elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2001. The NECI Scientific Literature Digital Library lists Dongarra as the seventh most cited author in computer science.

In addition to the position in Tennessee, Dongarra has an Adjunct Professorship in Computer Science at Rice University. He has been a visiting professor or visiting scientist at universities and laboratories throughout the United States and Europe including LANL, IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, the Center for Supercomputer Research and Development at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, AERE Harwell Laboratory in England, ETH in Zurich, Ecole Normale Superieure de Lyon in France, the Danish Technical University in Lyngby, the Swiss Scientific Computing Center in Lugano, the Australian National University in Canberra, the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, the Computational Lab at Oxford University, and the EPFL in Lausanne.

Dr. Dongarra has been the thesis advisor more than 20 Ph.D. students and a dozen postdoctoral researchers.
