OLUKOTUN, Oyekunle Ayinde

Born
Oyekunle (Kunle) Ayinde Olukotun is well known for leading the Stanford Hydra research project which developed one of the first chip multiprocessors with support for thread-level speculation (TLS). He is a cadence design systems professor of electrical engineering and computer science at Stanford University, and the director of the Standford Pervasive Parallelism Laboratory. In 2000, while a professor at Stanford, Kunle founded Afara Websystems, a company that designed and manufactured multi-core SPARC-based computer processors for data centers. Afara was purchased by Sun Microsystems in 2002. At Sun, Kunle was one of the architects of the 2005 UltraSPARC T1 processor. In 2008, he returned to Stanford and founded the Pervasive Parallelism Laboratory. Kunle recent work focuses on domain-specific programming languages that can allow algorithms to be easily adapted to multiple different types of parallel hardware, including multi-core systems, graphics processing units, and field-programmable gate arrays.
