My name is Heiko J Schick and I’m currently employed by the IBM Boeblingen lab as firmware project and bring-up lead of the QPACE project. QPACE is a super computer project of IBM and European universities to do quantum chromodynamics parallel computing on the Cell Broadband Engine™ Architecture.

This architecture defines a new processor structure based upon the 64-bit Power Architecture™ technology, but with unique features directed toward distributed processing and media-rich applications. It is a single-chip multiprocessor consisting of one or more Power Processor Elements (PPEs) and multiple high-performance SIMD Synergistic Processor Elements (SPEs). While each SPE is an independent processor running its own application programs, a shared, coherent memory and a rich set of DMA commands provide for seamless and efficient communications between all Cell processing elements.

Previously, I did firmware and hardware development for systems which are based on the Cell/B.E. and PowerXCell 8i processor (e.g. IBM BladeCenter QS2x). Before this job I worked as Linux device driver developer for the IBM System p eHCA InfiniBand and eHEA Ethernet adapter. You can find more information about me on my Xing and Facebook profile.
