Dr. Kenji Yoshigoe
Giving Supercomputers Super Power
The power and capacity of computers have grown exponentially, but that growth can鈥檛 continue without improving the machine and the power to its backbone. Dr. Kenji Yoshigoe, assistant professor of computer science, is a linchpin in developing the network of supercomputers known as Arkansas Cyberinfrastructure.
Dr. Yoshigoe aggressively pursues external funding to develop, expand, and sustain the High Performance Computer (HPC) infrastructure at 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock and other state institutions. As a result, he is senior personnel of many statewide HPC projects.
Dr. Yoshigoe has led the design, purchase, and management of a cluster supercomputer with peak speeds of 5 TFLOPs 鈥� trillions of floating point operations per second. He has successfully improved devices critical to the internal structure of the Internet.
One of his ongoing research projects is the 鈥淲ireless Nano-sensor Systems Integration Project鈥� funded by the National Science Foundation. The project involves researchers from nanotechnology, neuroscience, systems engineering, and computer science from 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock, Arkansas State University, and the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
Dr. Yoshigoe was instrumental in 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock receiving a grant from the National Science Foundation, which created EIT鈥檚 High Performance Computing facility.
Dr. Yoshigoe, who joined 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock’s faculty in August 2004, earned his Ph.D. in computer science from the University of South Florida.
