Welcome New Committer Nikolay Sakharnykh

The Apache Mahout PMC is pleased to announce that we have asked Nikolay
Sakharnykh to become a committer and he has accepted. His contribution of
an initial set of CUDA bindings into the project are good progress toward
our goal of simplifying matrix math at scale.

Being a committer allows you to contribute more easily to the project,
since in addition to posting pull requests and patches you're also granted
write access to the code repository; which in turn means you can review and
accept community contributions, and help others pitch in.

Nikolay, we're looking forward to working with you in the future; welcome!
It is customary for new committers to introduce themselves with a few words
:)

Best
Andrew

Hello everyone,

I’m sorry for some delay with my introduction, have been swamped with other projects recently ☺

Having worked at NVIDIA for around 8 years I have seen GPUs to evolve from specialized graphics processors to general purpose computing machines that can tackle any problem in the world (as long as you can extract enough parallelism ☺). My area of expertise as an engineer changed as well from games and visual effects to high-performance computing and graph analytics.

I must say that I’m relatively new to machine learning but it is a very exciting and quickly evolving field and I’d like to share my knowledge and skills with the community. I’m honored and very happy to be part of this group and looking forward to making Apache Mahout work efficiently on GPUs!

Nikolay.
