My name is Jason B. Akers. I'm a Purdue University Graduate holding a degree in Computer Science. I am a supporter of the Purdue Marching Band and an alumni member of the Beta Sigma chapter of Tau Beta Sigma. I also support several open source projects including DD-WRT. Currently, I'm employed at Intel in the Portland, OR area working on Storage Solutions like Intel's new SSD drives.
My current personal projects involve Genetic Algorithms research including evolutionary computing and machine learning. A recent paper involves the impact of the Darwin Effect on the speed of evolution for complex problem spaces. Past projects include embedded Linux on mini-computers like the HP Jornada 720 and the NEC MobilePro 900c. Look through the projects links for more information.
I am also an alumni of the IBM Extreme Blue program where I worked on project "Efficionado", a partition power management extension for the IBM Power7 series servers, in 2008. I filed several disclosures over the course of the program covering the latest innovation in energy-efficient "green" server technology.

A paper that I worked on with a coworker, Mike Mesnier, at Intel was published in the January 2011 edition of the ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review! It's entitled "Differentiated Storage Services" and concerns a new method of I/O data tagging that's interoperable with existing SCSI standards and enables a broad range of possibilities in the storage world. Very cool!
