Biography

As the Ted H. McCourtney Professor of Computer Science and Engineering, Peter Kogge's research involves architectures using migrating threads to improve the parallelism possible when dealing with very large graph problems, performance evaluation of very large parallel systems, languages and algorithms for quantum computing, and efficient architectures for neural nets, especially when implemented in non-traditional technologies. Prior major projects included the world’s second multi-threaded computer for the Space Shuttle, the world’s first multi-core chip on a Dynamic Random-Access Memory (DRAM) base, the world’s first computers where threads migrate freely without software support, and multiple projects involving Processing-in-Memory.

He holds more than 40 patents and is author of two books, including the first text on the now ubiquitous technique of hardware pipelining. His Ph.D. thesis led to the Kogge-Stone adder used in many microprocessors.
