Until April 2002, he held several positions at Caltech: Assistant Vice President for Scientific Computing, Faculty Associate in Scientific Computing, and Director of Caltech's Center for Advanced Computing Research. During a leave from Caltech from January 1999 to December 2000, he was Director of the Office of Advanced Simulation and Computing for Defense Programs in the National Nuclear Security Administration, Department of Energy. In that capacity he had responsibility for managing the Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative, the world’s largest scientific computing program, which is defining the state of the art in that field. He held the position of Chief Architect for the National Partnership for Advanced Computational Infrastructure (NPACI), a partnership established by the National Science Foundation and led by the University of California, San Diego until March 2002. His recent interests focus on advanced computer architectures, especially their application to large-scale computations in science and engineering. He has also been active in high-speed networks, computer performance evaluation, and Petaflops computing issues. Prior to his assignment in DOE, he led the Computational and Computer Science component of Caltech's research project funded by the Academic Strategic Alliances Program (ASAP) of the Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative (ASCI). In the mid 1990s he established and led the Scalable I/O Initiative (SIO), a large scale-effort to address input/output scalability issues in large-scale computing; the SIO had over 15 participating institutions. In the early 1990s he was the Principal Investigator and project manager of the CASA gigabit network testbed. During that period he also conceived, formed, and led the Consortium for Concurrent Supercomputing, whose thirteen members included several Federal agencies, National Laboratories, universities, and industry. That Consortium created and operated the Intel Touchstone Delta System, which was the world’s most powerful scientific computer for two years. He also held a joint appointment at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory as manager of High-Performance Computing and Communications from 1988 to 1998. From 1973 to 1987 he held a variety of positions at Argonne National Laboratory, with the last being Director of the Mathematics and Computer Science Division.
Messina is on the editorial Board of the journals "Concurrency: Practice and Experience" and "Computing in Science and Engineering." He has been keynote speaker at a number of international conferences, including HPCN Europe 2001, the 1999 International Meshing Roundtable, the 1997 SIAM Annual Meeting, the 1997 Mannheim Symposium, the 1996 ICPP Workshop on Challenges for Parallel Processing, HPCN Europe '95, the 1993 High Performance Distributed Computing 2 Conference in Spokane, WA, Supercomputing Japan '92, and the 1991 IMA Conference on Parallel Computation, Oxford, England.
Messina serves on a number of advisory committees for government agencies, research laboratories, and research projects.
Messina received his PhD in mathematics in 1972 and his MS in applied mathematics in 1967, both from the University of Cincinnati, and his BA in mathematics in 1965 from the College of Wooster. He is a member of the IEEE Computer Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, ACM, the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, and Sigma Xi. He is co-author of four books on scientific computing and editor of more than a dozen others.
In 2001 he received the U.S. Department of Energy’s Distinguished Associate Award, the highest award that the department awards to individuals who are not Federal employees. In 1997 he was awarded an honorary degree in Computer Engineering by the University of Lecce, Italy, in recognition of his contributions to computational science. In 1993 he was awarded a plaque by the IEEE High-Performance Distributed Computing Conference for pioneering contributions to the field. In 1992 he received Federal Computer Week's "Federal 100 Award" for spearheading the acquisition of the Intel Touchstone Delta and overcoming politics and interagency rivalries in creating the Concurrent Supercomputing Consortium. FCW gives this award each year to recognize people from academia, government, and industry "who have made a difference in the Federal systems community."
