To my wife, Peggy, who has supported not only my journey in high performance computing, but also that of our son Jon and daughter Rachel. Scientific programming is far from her medical expertise, but she has accompanied me and made it our journey. To my son, Jon, and daughter, Rachel, who have rekindled the flame and for your promising future.

To my husband Rick, who supported me the entire way, thank you for taking the early shifts and letting me work into the night. You never let me give up on myself. To my parents and in-laws, thank you for all your help and support. And to my son, Derek, for being one of my biggest inspirations; you are the reason I leap instead of jump.
