I’m Owen Hilyard, one of your volunteer moderators. I’m a CS PhD student focusing on hardware accelerated distributed systems, more specifically around accelerated networking and data movement. I’m also a former (I stepped down when I started my PhD) DPDK maintainer. I have fairly strong interests in accelerators (not in the ML sense, think more like Intel’s QuickAssist), heterogeneous compute (CPU, GPU, FPGA, etc all working on one problem), databases and distrusted systems.
