Dr. Cherri M. Pancake's web site is here: http://web.engr.oregonstate.edu/~pancake/ (and http://www.nacse.org/top/about/team/pancake.html, too).  Dr. Pancake was my major professor at Auburn and moved out to the Northwest the same time I was joining Intel Supercomputer Systems Division in 1992.  Mark Newsome came out, too, to get his PhD with Dr. Pancake.
