I previously blogged about Microsoft and Intel funding parallel computing research at University of California at Berkeley (UC Berkeley), and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). Now several technology companies (Sun Microsystems, Advanced Micro Devices, NVIDIA, IBM, Hewlett Packard, and Intel) are funding parallel computing research at Stanford University’s Pervasive Parallelism Laboratory (PPL). Kunle Olukotun is the […]
Donald Knuth, author of the all-time best Computer Science book series (in my opinion), "The Art of Computer Programming", was recently interviewed by Andrew Binstock for informIT.com. The interview is very indepth covering programming, methods, tools, history, architecture, and more. I’ve listed a few of the interview highlights that caught my eye.

I was a speaker […]
It’s Leap Day, February 29th. An extra day this year for all of us to get more done. The US National Institute of Standards and Technology leap year FAQ page describes a Leap Year, Leap Second, and even the possibility of a Negative Leap Second. There is even an Honor Society of Leap Year Babies home page. Time […]
I’ve been accepted as a speaker at the SD West 2008 conference, March 3-7, Santa Clara Convention Center. My birds-of-a-feather session is titled "Native Code is not Dead". Here is the abstract I sent in:
With all the buzz about managed code and dynamic languages,
