The Main presentation:
HPC (formerly known as Supercomputing) has been around a long time (since
early/mids 70s) but it has always been dynamic and often the first to
pioneer, adopt, and mainstream several industry-changing technologies. In
this session we will address what automotive engineers use today to create
modern transport chariots and the roles Linux, Open Source and new hardware
technology are playing.

About the speaker:
A seasoned scientific, technical and computing professional, Sharan has
spent over 25+ years implementing many new and pioneering technologies from
operating systems (UNIX/BSD/UNICOS/Irix/Linux/Solaris/), high performance
computing (Cray, SGI, various clusters), engineering applications (CAE/CFD
simulation software), optimization, networking (TCP/IP, Infiniband),
operations (ITIL, ITSM), scientific domain (BioInformatics), and project
management. An inspiring speaker and author, Sharan seeks to raise the
professional approach of every individual he interacts with. He has worked
in many diverse areas and is a sought after speaker at many conferences and
seminars, such as Supercomputing, HPC Advisory Council, SIAM, Infiniband
Trade Association, Association of Information Technology Professionals, etc.

He enjoys teaching, contributing to STEM activities and publishing. He is a
senior member of IEEE, ACM, and leads the SEMCO.ORG. He has published a
book on the topic: “UNIX and TCP/IP network security” ” ISBN: 1581430213;
and is now working on his second text, about a new computer programming
language. He has chaired the IEEE Southeastern Michigan Section since 2022
and has held various officer roles in different chapters of the
Southeastern Michigan IEEE. He also serves as one of the writers/editors of
the Sections monthly newsletter – Wavelengths. He has also served as
Program Ambassador Sustech 2021, Vice-Chair of IEEE Sustech 2022, IEEE
SusTech 2023 Global Conferences. He is the recipient of:

* 2018 IEEE MGA Achievement award,
* 2021 IEEE Region 4 Jack Sherman award
* 2022 Robert Neff Section award
* 2023 IEEE Region 4 Outstanding Service Award
* 2024 Engineering Society of Detroit (ESD) Anne O. Fletcher Award
for his contributions towards IEEE activities.

Short presentation:
For the short presentation on a Unix/Linux topic we’re going to be talking
about CUPS The Common Unix Printing System.
