Gustavo Giorgetti is a seasoned IT entrepreneur with a track record of several successful ventures. While he was visiting Estonia in 2007 on a mission for the World Bank, he was impressed with the pioneer work by the government using X-road as part of the IT Public Sector Modernization program.  Gustavo has developed the first pilot program in Neuquen Argentina using Estonia’s Blockchain experience. In 2017, his team and Visus have successfully run several of Visus’s applications over the X-road and Blockchain platform. Gustavo is Visus Foundation Representative in Latin America.

Research Assistant Professor

LLNL

I am currently a project leader at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Center for Applied Scientific Computing which I joined in December 2006. I am also a part time research faculty at SCI. Before joining LLNL I was a post-doctoral research associate at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. I received a Ph.D. in computer science in the Fall of 2004 from the University of California, Davis and an M.S. and B.S. in Mathematics/Computer Science from the Leipniz University, Hannover, Germany.

OUR COLLABORATORS

  • For the large weather data I needed to process, I was able to do it only with PIDX.


    Georgios Markomanolis - Computational Scientist​

  • "Thank you"


    Histology Class 2013
    University of Utah
       
  • PIDX is fast for both writes and reads,
    saves precious compute and user time.
    I saved 70% of simulation time using PIDX
    on large scale Uintah simulations.
