'''Paul Lu''',<br/>
a Canadian computer scientist and associate professor at Department of Computing Science, [[University of Alberta]].
His research interests include [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-performance_computing high-performance computing], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metacomputing Metacomputing], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioinformatics Bioinformatics].
He developed ''Aurora'' <ref>[http://webdocs.cs.ualberta.ca/~paullu/Aurora/aurora.html The Aurora Distributed Shared Data System]</ref> , a distributed shared data (DSD) system based on a standard [[Cpp|C++]] class library and run-time system.
The system exploits language mechanisms for creating abstract data types and does not contain any language extensions.
Paul Lu further was member of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinook_%28draughts_player%29 Chinook] team, solving [[Checkers]] in 2007, and worked on its [[Parallel Search|parallel game tree search]] and [[Endgame Tablebases|endgame database]] construction <ref>[http://webdocs.cs.ualberta.ca/~chinook/authors/ Authors - Chinook - World Man-Machine Checkers Champion]</ref>.
