He is a researcher at Chalmers University of Technology and a co-founder of ZeroPoint Technologies Corp. His research focuses on high performance computer architecture, in particular designing cache and memory hierarchies that are efficiently utilized by today's multicore systems, data compression, and reconfigurable computing. He holds an M.Sc. degree in Computer Engineering from Delft University of Technology (Netherlands) and a 5-year Engineering Diploma in Electronics and Computer Engineering from the Technical University of Crete (Greece).Per Stenstrom earned his Ph.D. degree in computer engineering in 1990 from Lund University, Sweden. Since 1995 has been a Professor of Computer Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden. His research interests are devoted to high-performance computer architecture and he has made major contributions to especially high-performance memory systems. He has authored or co-authored 3 textbooks, 130 publications in international journals and conferences, and around ten patents. He is regularly serving program committees of major conferences in the computer architecture field and is an Associate Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing and a Senior Associate Editor of ACM Transactions on Architecture and Code Optimization. He co-founded the HiPEAC Network of Excellence funded by the European Commission. He has also acted as General and Program Chair for a large num-ber of conferences including the ACM/IEEE Int. Symposium on Computer Architecture, the IEEE High-Performance Computer Architecture Symposium, the IEEE International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium, and the ACM International Conference on Supercomputing. He is a Member-at-Large of the ACM Council, a Fellow of the ACM and the IEEE, and a member of Academia Europaea, the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences, and the Spanish Royal Academy of Engineering.Prof. David A. Wood is a Professor in the Computer Sciences Department at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He also holds a courtesy appointment in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department.
