Mary Ann Christie, IBM Corporate Program Manager, Environmentally
Conscious Products
Mary Ann Christie is program manager at IBM Corporate Environmental
Affairs focusing on worldwide product energy and air emissions.
Responsibilities include worldwide monitoring of product energy
related laws, voluntary partnerships, potential legislation,
and leadership opportunities relating to IBM's energy efficient
products. She is currently chairperson of the Energy Star
Work group of ITI (information Technology Industry Council)
focusing on office product issues relating to energy star
specifications, potential legislation, and the current implementation
of Executive Order 13221(standby). Mary Ann received a B.S.
degree in chemistry followed by a M.S degree in organic Chemistry
from Kent State University (1973), and a M.S. degree in Physical
Chemistry from the University of Washington (1975). Mary Ann
began her career at IBM San Jose Research doing analytical
and polymer work, followed by various management positions
in product development (1st level packaging), failure analysis,
and manufacturing in the Microelectronics Division. She subsequently
became active in IBM's ECP (Environmentally Conscious Product)
efforts.
Prof. Mark Horowitz, Ph.D., Stanford University
Mark Horowitz is the Yahoo Founder's Professor of Electrical
Engineering and Computer Science at Stanford University. He
received his BS and MS in Electrical Engineering from MIT
in 1978, and his Ph.D. from Stanford in 1984. Dr. Horowitz
is the recipient of a 1985 Presidential Young Investigator
Award, and an IBM Faculty development award, as well as the
1993 best paper award at the International Solid State Circuits
Conference. Dr Horowitz's research area is in digital system
design, and he has led a number of processor designs including
MIPS-X, one of the first processors to include an on-chip
instruction cache, TORCH, a statically-scheduled, superscalar
processor that supported speculative execution, and FLASH,
a flexible DSM machine. He has also worked in a number of
other chip design areas including high-speed and low-power
memory design, high-bandwidth interfaces, and fast floating
point. In 1990 he took leave from Stanford to help start Rambus
Inc, a company designing high-bandwidth memory interface technology.
His current research includes multiprocessor design, low power
circuits, memory design, and high-speed links.

Information Technology Office (ITO). His overall responsibilities
include the management of projects in the Autonomous and Embedded
Software Systems area with in ITO. Specific areas of technology
responsibilities are embedded computing architectures, reactive
embedded computing hardware/network/software systems, and
related real-time software tools targeted for commercial and
military applications. Mr. Graybill's current program responsibilities
are Data Intensive Computing Systems, and Power Aware Computing

Productivity Computing Systems, and e-Textiles.
Prof. Massoud Pedram, Ph.D., University of Southern California
Massoud Pedram received a BS in EE from the California Institute
of Technology in 1986 and MS and Ph.D. in EECS from UC Berkeley
in 1989 and 1991, respectively. He now serves as a professor
in the Department of Electrical Engineering - Systems at USC.
Dr. Pedram is a recipient of the NSF's Young Investigator
Award (1994) and the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists
and Engineers (1996). His research has received a number of
awards including two Best Paper Awards from the International
Conference on Computer Design, a Design Automation Conference
Best Paper Award, and an IEEE Transactions on VLSI Systems
Best Paper Award. Dr. Pedram is an IEEE fellow and was a cofounder
and general chair of the 1995 International Symposium on Low
Power Design and the technical co-chair and general co-chair
of the 1996 and 1997 International Symposium on Low Power
Electronics and Design, respectively. He has published more
than 180 journal and conference papers and written three books
on various aspects of low power design. His current research
focuses on developing methodologies, techniques and software
tools for lowering the power dissipation in electronic circuits
and systems, power-aware computing and communication, smart
battery technology and system design, and design flows and
algorithms for integrated logical-physical design of VLSI
circuits.
Winfried W. Wilcke, PhD, Program Director, IBM Research
Massoud PWinfried Wilcke is a program director in IBM's Almaden
Research Laboratory. His present focus is on the IBM IceCube
project. He received a PHD in nuclear physics in 1976, and
worked at the University of Rochester, Los Alamos and Lawrence
Berkeley Lab., publishing over 100 papers. In the eighties,
he joined IBM Research in Yorktown Heights and started a project
to build distributed memory machines with several hundred
processors to analyze some nuclear data. This project eventually
became a direct precursor of the IBM SP supercomputer line.
Today, 160 of the 500 fastests computers in the world, including
the fastest ones, are IBM SP machines. Winfried left IBM in
1991for a Silicon Valley startup, HAL, where he was Director
of Architecture and was very involved in the creation of the
64-bit SPARC V9 architecture (with SUN) and in fast switches.
The latter work was spun out recently as a startup (Redswitch).
In 1996, he left HAL and went sailing and diving for an extended
period of time. He rejoined IBM Research in Almaden in the
late nineties and first spent 18 months with the Transmeta
team. There he gained an appreciation of the challenges of
combining low power and high performance in one chip. In 2001,
he started a new IBM project, IceCube, which in some ways
is a modern version of the SP, but targeted at commercial
and storage intensive applications.
Prof. Dirk Grunwald, Ph.D., University of Colorado
Dirk Grunwald is an Associate Professor in the Department
of Computer Science, University of Colorado. He received his
PhD from the University of Illinois in 1989, and has been
on the faculty at the University of Colorado since that time.
His recent work focuses on power-aware computing at many levels,
including microarchitecture, O/S, networks and I/O systems.
