James Reinders Consulting LLC

I have suspended operations as a consultant, as of November 2020, as I have joined Intel again.
I am passionate about Parallel Programming and Parallel Computer Architecture. Fast computers! I have had the great fortune to help make key contributions to two of the world's fastest computers (#1 on the "Top500" lists many times) and many other supercomputers.
I was working as an independent consultant on parallel computing, high performance computing (HPC, AI, ML, CPUs, FPGAs, GPUs, and accelerators of all kinds). I previously worked at Intel until 2016. During my 10,001 days at Intel, I contributed to many projects including the world's first TeraFLOP/s supercomputer (ASCI Red) and the world's first TeraFLOP/s microprocessor. Today, I continue to publish articles and do consulting in areas related to high performance computing, and applications that use high performance computing including AI/ML.

Passionate about Parallel Programming and Parallel Computer Architecture

I am always looking to improve the methods and tools for Parallel Programming through better models, understanding and training. I have authored/edited to create nine books (so far) reflecting this passion. I have also taught many courses, classes, tutorials, and workshops. I am familiar with many software developer markets from embedded to HPC.
I am a strong communicator, and available to help with...
  • Whitepapers,
  • Impactful Technical Communications,
  • Software Developer Training,
  • High Performance Computing Consulting,
  • Software Developer Tools Consulting, and
  • Anything Technically Interesting!
