Summary
Joseph Manzano is a Senior Computer Scientist with over a decade of experience at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, specializing in HPC system software, modeling and simulation, and performance and energy benchmarking. He leads cross-disciplinary teams developing compiler toolchains (LLVM/MLIR), parallel programming models (OpenMP, MPI, AMT), and simulation frameworks for both HPC and wireless systems while driving cybersecurity and anomaly-detection research. His background mapping CNNs to diverse computational substrates has evolved into tackling data-volume and energy-efficiency challenges for LLMs in scientific workflows. A Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering and a history of organizing high-profile workshops underscore his role as a community leader who blends deep technical expertise with practical systems-building. Not obvious at first glance, he pairs low-level systems work with hands-on simulation of massive multithreaded architectures, giving him a rare end-to-end perspective on codesign and performance trade-offs.
