Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobert Pearson is a Principal Engineer with two decades of expertise in high-performance networking and communications, currently shaping IO architecture at Cray Inc. He blends deep technical R&D experience with management and entrepreneurial leadership, having founded and led System Fabric Works and driven business development at VIEO. His background spans research and product roles at IBM and early scientific software leadership, underpinned by a PhD in Physics from Stanford and an MBA from Texas McCombs. Known for solving low-latency, high-throughput system problems, he brings both theoretical rigor from national lab and institute appointments and practical delivery in commercial and startup environments. Based in Round Rock, Texas, he pairs long-term systems thinking with hands-on architecture work that bridges research and production. An uncommon strength is his ability to translate physics-level modeling into scalable IO and fabric designs that meet real-world performance constraints.

Portals is a low-level network API for high-performance networking on high-performance computing systems developed by Sandia National Laboratories, Intel Corporation, and the University of New Mexico. The Portals 4 Reference Implementation is a complete implementation of Portals 4, with transport over InfiniBand VERBS and UDP. Shared memory transport is available as an optimization, including Linux KNEM support. The Portals 4 reference implementation is supported on both modern 64 bit Linux and 64 bit Mac OS X. The reference implementation has been developed by Sandia National Laboratories, Intel Corporation, and System Fabric Works. For more information on the Portals 4 standard, please see the Portals 4 page.
