About the Authors
Jos´e Duato received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the Technical
University of Valencia (Universidad Polit´ecnica de Valencia), Spain, in 1981 and 1985, respec-
tively. Currently, Dr. Duato is a professor in the Department of Computer Engineering (DISCA),
Universidad Polit´ecnica de Valencia, and adjunct professor in the Department of Computer and
Information Science, Ohio State University.
His current research interests include high-speed interconnects, multiprocessor architectures,
cluster architectures, and IP routers. Dr. Duato proposed the first theory of deadlock-free adaptive
routing for wormhole networks. This theory has been used in the design of the routing algorithms
for the MIT Reliable Router, the Cray T3E router, and the on-chip router of the Alpha 21364
microprocessor.Dr. Duato is currently collaborating with IBMonthedesignof the interconnection
network for the IBM BlueGene/L supercomputer and on the next generation of the IBM PRIZMA
switch for IP routers.
Dr. Duato has served as an associate editor for the IEEE Transactions on Parallel and
Distributed Systems and IEEE Transactions on Computers. He has been the general co-chair for
the 2001 International Conference on Parallel Processing. Also, he served as co-chair, member
of the steering committee, vice-chair, or member of the program committee in more than 30
conferences, including the most prestigious conferences in his field (HPCA, ISCA, IPPS/SPDP,
ICPP, ICDCS, Europar, HiPC).
Sudhakar Yalamanchili received his B.E. degree in electronics from Bangalore University,
India, in 1978, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical and computer engineering from the
University of Texas at Austin in 1980 and 1984, respectively.
He was a senior and then principal research scientist at the Honeywell Systems and Research
Center in Minneapolis from 1984 to 1989, where he was the principal investigator for projects in
the design and analysis of multiprocessor architectures for embedded applications. Since 1989
he has been on the faculty at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where he is currently professor
of electrical and computer engineering. He is the author of the texts VHDL Starter’s Guide and
IntroductoryVHDL: From Simulation to Synthesis from Prentice Hall (2000). His current research
interests lay in the intersection of system area networks, configurable computing technologies, and
high-speed switching and routing. His current projects focus on the development of high-speed
switching substrates for supporting data intensive communication.
Dr. Yalamanchili is a member of the ACM and senior member of the IEEE. He has served
as an associate editor for the IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems and IEEE
Transactions on Computers and serves on program committees for international conferences in
the area of high-performance computing systems.
Lionel M. Ni earned his Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering from Purdue
University,West Lafayette, IN, in 1980. He is a professor in the Computer Science and Engineering
Department at Michigan State University. His research interests include parallel architectures,
distributed systems, high-speed networks, and pervasive computing. A fellow of IEEE, Dr. Ni has
chaired many professional conferences and received a number of awards for authoring outstanding
papers. His paper (with Chris Glass) “The Turn Model forAdaptive Routing” was selected as one
of the 41 most significant impact papers in the last 25 years in computer architecture in 1998. He
also won the Michigan State University Distinguished Faculty Award in 1994.
Dr. Ni has served as an associate editor for the IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed
Systems and IEEE Transactions on Computers.
