He has worked on the development of the IBM HPF compiler for the SP™ machines, parallelizing FORTRAN 90 and C compilers on shared memory machines, and more recently, on optimizing Java compilers. His research interests include high-performance compilers, programming environments, and parallel architectures.
Pedro V. Artigas
IBM Research Division, Thomas J. Watson Research Center, P.O. Box 218, Yorktown Heights, New York 10598 (electronic mail: artigas@us.ibm.com).
Mr. Artigas received a B.S. degree in electrical engineering in 1996 from the University of São Paulo, Brazil. He is currently working on his master's degree thesis and will soon obtain an M.S. degree from the same university (expected at the beginning of year 2000). Mr. Artigas is currently a cooperative fellowship student at the Watson Research Center. His research activities include performance evaluation and optimization of Java programs and the development of a prototype high-performance static Java compiler. His research interests include high-performance compilers and computer architectures, parallel architectures, processor micro-architectures, and operating systems.
Marc Snir
IBM Research Division, Thomas J. Watson Research Center, P.O. Box 218, Yorktown Heights, New York 10598 (electronic mail: snir@us.ibm.com).
Dr. Snir is a senior manager at the Watson Research Center, where he leads research on scalable parallel systems. He and his group developed many of the technologies that led to the IBM SP product, and they continue to work on future SP generations. Dr. Snir received a Ph.D. in mathematics from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1979. He worked at New York University on the NYU Ultracomputer project from 1980 to 1982, and worked at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem from 1982 to 1986, when he joined the Watson Research Center. He has published close to 100 journal and conference papers on computational complexity, parallel algorithms, parallel architectures, and parallel programming. He has recently coauthored the High Performance FORTRAN and the Message Passing Interface standards. He is on the editorial board of Transactions on Computer Systems and Parallel Processing Letters. He is a member of the IBM Academy of Technology, an ACM Fellow, and an IEEE Fellow.
