The Project Management Committee (PMC) for Apache SystemML has invited Guobao Li to become a committer and we are pleased to announce that he has accepted.
Guobao was instrumental in creating language and runtime support for parameter servers in SystemML. This includes local and distributed runtime backends for data-parallel parameter servers as well as various data partitioning schemes, update modes, and update frequencies. This feature has already shipped in SystemML 1.2. Congratulations and welcome Guobao - this is well deserved. Regards, Matthias
