Honored to be in New Orleans this week for the 40th @IPDPS 🎉 Four decades as the premier venue for parallel & distributed computing — the community that's shaped our field and my own career. Looking forward to the talks, the hallway conversations, and the reunions. #IPDPS2026 #HPC @ComputerSociety

Proud moment today: hooding my PhD student Dr. Fuhuan Li at NJIT commencement. Watching a student cross that stage never gets old. Onward to Amazon, Fuhuan. The field is lucky to have you. 🎓

At @NJIT this morning for "A Chip Odyssey" — a film screening and dialogue with Director Hsiao Chu-chen and Producer Ben Tsiang. The story of semiconductors has never been more relevant to the AI infrastructure shaping our world.

Back in my hometown of Bethlehem, PA today for the Fastcode workshop at @LehighU. Returning to where my parallel computing journey began in the late 1980s is always something special. Looking forward to great conversations on software performance engineering in the LLM era.

Talked with Ian Krietzberg at @PuckNews about Elon's pivot and the SpaceX–Anthropic deal. My take: AI is heading where streaming went — walled gardens coming down, frontier labs becoming suppliers and platforms. Today's business models can't yet support today's models. puck.news/is-elon-givi...

Great day at North East AI Agents Day at @JaneStreet NYC. Honored to give a talk on "Agentic Exploration of Large-Scale Graphs with Arkouda and Arachne." Thanks to the organizers for convening such a sharp crowd. #AIAgents #HPC #GraphAnalytics #LLM ne-agents-day.github.io
