After Burton Smith back in 2005 we have another Supercomputing guru joining Microsoft, Daniel Reed. Reed joins Microsoft Research as director of scalable and multicore computing. He has a long background in parallel computing.

Reed was as director of the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for many years and a chief architect of the National Science Foundation's TeraGrid, a national distributed computing system for researchers.
