R. Rau Award, and the CGO Test-of-Time Award. He is a Fellow of IEEE and ACM.

Norm P. Jouppi is a Google Fellow. Norm received his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 1984. While at Stanford he was one of the principal architects and designers of the MIPS microprocessor. Before joining Google in 2013 Norm was known for his innovations in computer memory systems and was the principal architect and lead designer of several microprocessors. He has been the tech lead for Google's Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) since their inception in 2013. He is a Fellow of the ACM, IEEE, and AAAS, and a member of the National Academy of Engineering. He has received multiple awards, including the ACM/IEEE Eckert-Mauchly Award and Seymour Cray Computer Engineering Award.

Hironori Kasahara is a professor in the CSE department, a director at Advanced Multicore Research Institute, an ex-SEVP at Waseda University, an IEEE Life Fellow, a member of the Engineering Academy of Japan and the Science Council of Japan, and a chair of JST "SPRING" Ph.D. fostering program and IEEE Fran Allen Medal. He was the 2018 IEEE Computer Society President. His research interests include co-designing architecture and compilers, parallelizing-optimizing data locality, and power-reducing compilers for HPC to real-time embedded systems. He participated in developing three Top 1 Supercomputers, NWT based on his OSCAR architecture, Earth Simulator, and K.

Yale Patt is a teacher at The University of Texas at Austin and the Virginia Cockrell Centennial Endowed Chair in the Cockrell School of Engineering. He enjoys teaching the required freshman Intro to Computing course, using his motivated bottom-up approach every other Fall semester. His research in aggressive branch prediction and out-of-order execution has changed the basic structure of microprocessors. He earned obligatory degrees from reputable universities a long time ago. More information is available on his website for those who want it.

Guri Sohi has been at the University of Wisconsin-Madison since 1985 where he currently is a Vilas Research Professor. Over the past four decades he has worked on the design of high-performance processors and computer systems and results from his research can be found in almost every high-end microprocessor in the market today. He has worked with an outstanding group of graduate students who have gone on to make their own impact in the field of computer architecture. His work has received a variety of recognitions within the university, nationally, as well as internationally.

She is in the Hall of Fame of ISCA, HPCA, IISWC, and serves on the study committee of the National Academies. She earned her M.A. and Ph.D. from Princeton University and B.Sc. from Cornell University.

Satoshi Matsuoka's short bio: Satoshi Matsuoka has been the director of RIKEN Center for Computational Science (R-CCS) since 2018. He is responsible for developing the supercomputer Fugaku which has become the fastest supercomputer in the world in all four major supercomputer rankings in 2020 and 2021 (Top500, HPCG, HPL-AI, Graph500), along with multitudes of ongoing cutting edge HPC research being conducted, including investigating Post-Moore era computing, especially the future Fugaku NEXT supercomputer. He was the leader of the TSUBAME series of supercomputers that had also received many international acclaims, at the Institute of Science Tokyo (formerly known as the Tokyo Institute of Technology), where he still holds a professor position, to continue his research activities in HPC as well as scalable Big Data and AI. Other accolades include the Fellow positions in societies/conferences ACM, ISC, JSSST (Japan Society for Software Science and Technology) and IPSJ (Information Processing Society of Japan); the ACM Gordon Bell Prizes in 2011 & 2021; the IEEE-CS Sidney Fernbach Award in 2014 as well as the IEEE-CS Computer Society Seymour Cray Computer Engineering Award in 2022, both being the highest awards in the field of HPC, and the only individual to receive both awards; one of the HPCwire 35 Legends by the HPC wire in 2024; the Technical Papers Chair and the Program Chair for ACM/IEEE Supercomputing 2009 and 2013 (SC09 and SC13) respectively as well as many other conference chairs, and the ACM Gordon Bell Prize selection committee chair in 2018. His longtime contribution for the computer science research was commended with the Medal of Honor with Purple ribbon by his Majesty Emperor of Japan in 2022.
