| Hello! My name is Mark Pellegrini. I'm a PhD candidate in ] at the ], whence I also got my bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering. I'm working under in , as a small worker bee for the ] project. Our group has been subcontracted by ] to do hardware ] and ] development. I'm working concurrently on my PhD thesis and my master's thesis. My master's thesis is on rewriting the ] ] benchmark to run efficiently on several exotic computer systems, including ], the ], and the ]. My PhD thesis is MemWatcher, a memory watching component that sits between the processor and the cache, and allows simplified debugging of parallel programs on ] architectures. | |||
| I also have some background in ], and military history (particularly 20th century) is an interest of mine. | |||

| ] | |||
| I've been on Misplaced Pages a long time (since August 2003). I'm an ], a ], an ], ], and ] emeritus. I'm the "Featured Article Director", meaning that I schedule the ] that you see on the main page every day (as well as ] and in general helping to make the whole process go smoothly). I'm also on the Wikimedia Foundation's ], and I'm a member of the ' Wikimedia Press Team' (meaning I help answer the many emails Misplaced Pages gets). | |||
| I've been to ] ] ] ], and I've met a fair number of other Wikipedians. They're good people. | |||
| I've written ] - over 400, at last count. I've also taken ] and requested ]. I'm a generalist, in that I contribute all over wikipedia. I've written articles in many different fields, including featured articles in history, science, and literature. I think, at one point or another, I've done every task there is to do on Misplaced Pages, from fixing double redirects and cut-and-paste page moves to presenting a case before the arbcom and writing custom software for Misplaced Pages (an upload bot). | |||
| After you've been here a while, you start to notice certain trends. I've started writing them down at ], which also includes a few discovered by others. | |||
