Prof. Michael J Flynn, Stanford University
Achieving parallel processor speedup (n times speedup with n processing elements) has been difficult for a broad class of applications. The problem is not technology but programming models. One answer to this speedup problem is to create an idealized data flow machine that exactly corresponds to the application and stream data through the resulting machine. In the dataflow paradigm an application is considered as a dataflow graph of the executable actions.. The extraordinary density achieved by FPGAs allows emulations of the application dataflow machine, providing more than an order of magnitude speedup even as executed as an emulation of the data flow machine.
Michael Flynn received his Ph.D. from Purdue University in 1961. He joined IBM in
1955 and for ten years worked in the areas of computer organization and design.
He was design manager of prototype versions of the IBM 7090 and 7094/II, and
later for the System 360 Model 91 Central Processing Unit. Between 1966 and
1974 Prof. Flynn was a faculty member of Northwestern University and the Johns
Hopkins University. In 1975 he became Professor of Electrical Engineering at
Stanford University, and was Director of the Computer Systems Laboratory from
1977 to 1983. He was founding chairman of both the ACM Special Interest Group
on Computer Architecture and the IEEE Computer Society's Technical Committee
on Computer Architecture. Prof. Flynn was the 1992 recipient of the ACM/IEEE
Eckert-Mauchley Award for his technical contributions to computer and digital
systems architecture. He was the 1995 recipient of the IEEE-CS Harry Goode
Memorial Award in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the design and
classification of computer architecture. In 1998 he received the Tesla Medal from
the International Tesla Society (Belgrade), and an honorary Doctor of Science from
Trinity College (University of Dublin), Ireland. He is the author of three books and
over 250 technical papers.
