Presenter

Johannes is a tech lead at NextSilicon, where he works on compilation systems targeting a novel chip for accelerating HPC applications. Johannes received his Ph.D. degree at the Scalable Parallel Computing Laboratory at ETH Zurich under the supervision of Prof. Torsten Hoefler, where he conducted research on productively programming FPGAs for HPC. Throughout his Ph.D., he ran a successful tutorial series on FPGA programming with high-level synthesis along with Prof. Hoefler that was presented at SC18 – SC21, contributing to bridge the gap between hardware development and the HPC community. His work included collaborations on FPGA programming with Microsoft and Xilinx research divisions. He has (co-)authored and maintains several popular open source repositories, including the DaCe programming model and the hlslib project, contributing to exchange of engineering and knowledge in the hardware domain. His interests are in novel spatial computing architectures, programming models, and compilation systems for HPC.
