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.

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.
