Summary
Hamid Zohouri is a Senior Staff Hardware Systems Engineer with 11+ years of experience bridging computer architecture research and large-scale HPC/AI system engineering. He designs and optimizes multi-PB clusters and AI servers end-to-end—selecting hardware, tuning firmware, crafting custom Linux images, and automating diagnostics to meet strict performance, cost, and reliability targets. His background includes impactful FPGA HLS work (one of the earliest OpenCL-based FPGA examples at SC 2016) and publications demonstrating high-performance stencil and memory-bandwidth optimizations on Intel and Xilinx platforms. Comfortable across CPUs, GPUs, Ethernet/Infiniband, RAID and enterprise OSes, he routinely troubleshoots deeply coupled hardware-software issues and negotiates vendor solutions. Now based in California and currently building cutting-edge AI infrastructure, he pairs hands-on overclocking-level curiosity with rigorous PhD-trained systems thinking. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic, hardware-aware acceleration strategies that translate academic advances into production clusters.
