Bio
Prof. Gray received his PhD in Physics from Pennsylvania State University in 1968, after which he was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Toronto in 1968-1969. In 1969-1972, he was an Assistant Professor of Physics at the Oregon Graduate Center in Portland, Oregon. In 1972, he took a position as a staff Consultant for Control Data Corporation in Portland where he worked in computer system consulting for the Pacific Northwest. He moved to the Arden Hills Programming Division of Control Data where he was employed as a Systems Designer from 1977-1986. In 1986-1990 he was a researcher in artificial intelligence at the Microelectronics Computer Consortium in Austin, Texas.

Scholarly, Creative & Professional Activities

Research Interests

  • My research interests center around scientific computation and the computing technologies that support it.  More specifically, I am interested in simulation, simulation systems, and the high performance technology that makes large simulation possible.

Work In Progress

  • There has been much interest in using a personal computer's graphics processor (graphics board) as an onboard high performance cluster system so I am currently working on an article giving a detailed discussion on how to run an application in the graphics processor.
