Biographical sketches of authors
William J. Schmidt IBM AS/400 Division,
3605 Highway 52 North, Rochester, Minnesota 55901
(electronic mail: wjs@vnet. ibm.com). Dr. Schmidt is an
advisory software engineer with the SLIC Program Model group for the
AS/400. He has been developing compiler optimizations for the AS/400
optimizing translator since joining IBM in 1992. He received a B.A. in
mathematics and music from Bethel College, North Newton, Kansas in
1984, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa
in 1991 and 1992, respectively. He holds 19 filed patent applications
and two issued U.S. patents, primarily in the area of compiler
optimizations. His current interests include profile-based
optimizations for Java classes.
Robert R. Roediger IBM AS/400
Division, 3605 Highway 52 North, Rochester, Minnesota 55901
(electronic mail: roediger@vnet. ibm.com). Dr. Roediger joined
IBM in 1980. He is presently a senior software engineer with the SLIC
Program Model group for the AS/400, working on compiler optimizations
for the AS/400 optimizing translator. He has previously worked on
various system and computer architecture projects, as well as compiler
projects for both the AS/400 and the System/38. Dr. Roediger is a
member of the ACM. He received a B.S. degree and M.S. degree in applied
mathematics and computer science from Washington University, St. Louis,
Missouri, in 1972, and a D.Sc. in computer science from Washington
University in 1980. He holds 16 filed patent applications.
Cynthia S. Mestad IBM AS/400 Division,
3605 Highway 52 North, Rochester, Minnesota 55901
(electronic mail: Cindy Mestad/ Rochester/IBM@IBMUS). Ms. Mestad
is currently a staff software engineer doing performance analysis on
the AS/400 at IBM in Rochester, Minnesota. Upon completion of a
computer programming course at Brown Institute in Minneapolis,
Minnesota, she joined IBM in 1980 as a computer operator on the IBM
System/38. She has held various testing, programming, and project
management positions within IBM throughout her career. She has focused
on the System/36, System/38, and AS/400.
Bilha Mendelson IBM Research
Division, Haifa Research Laboratory, Matam--Advanced
Technology Center, Haifa 31905, Israel (electronic mail:
bilha@vnet.ibm.com). Dr. Mendelson has been a member of the Haifa
Research Laboratory in Israel for several years. She worked on avionic
real-time systems at Elbit Ltd. before attending graduate school. In
1990 she joined the Haifa Research Laboratory, where she is now the
manager of the code optimization and performance improvements group.
She holds a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in computer science from the
Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, and a Ph.D. in
electrical engineering from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.
Her areas of interest include code optimization algorithms, compiler
technology, computer architecture, and data-flow systems.
Inbal Shavit-Lottem IBM Research
Division, Haifa Research Laboratory, Matam--Advanced
Technology Center, Haifa 31905, Israel (electronic mail:
ishavit@vnet.ibm.com). Mrs. Shavit-Lottem is currently a member
of the code optimizations and performance improvements group in the
Haifa Research Laboratory, where she has been working since 1992. She
works on machine-dependent (back-end) compiler improvements and
optimizations. She received her B.Sc. degree in computer science from
the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa. She has four
filed patent applications in the area of code optimizations. Her areas
of interest include code optimization algorithms, compiler technology,
and graphical user interfaces.
Vita Bortnikov-Sitnitsky
IBM Research Division, Haifa Research Laboratory, Matam--Advanced
Technology Center, Haifa 31905, Israel (electronic mail:
vita@haifasc3.vnet.ibm.com). Mrs. Bortnikov is currently with the
code optimizations and performance improvements group in the Haifa
Research Laboratory, where she has been working since 1994. She works
on machine-dependent (back-end) compiler improvements and
optimizations. She received her B.Sc. degree (cum laude) in
computer science in 1996 from the Technion-Israel Institute of
Technology in Haifa. She has four filed patent applications in the area
of code optimizations. Her areas of interest include code optimization
algorithms, compiler technology, distributed computing, and advanced
algorithms and data structures.
