Mario Nemirovsky topic

Mario Nemirovsky, PhD, is VP, chief scientist and a founder of ConSentry Networks and also an ICREA Research Professor at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center..He pioneered the concept of Massively Multithreading (MMT) processing for the high performance processor “LSP” he architected for ConSentry. He is currently designing the next generation of this line of stateful processor. He had previously pioneered the by now well established Simultaneous Multithreding architecture (SMT). Mario was an adjunct professor at the University of California at Santa Barbara from 1991 to 1998. He has done research in many areas of computer architecture, including simultaneous multithreading, high-performance architectures, and real-time and network processors. Prior to ConSentry, Mario founded XstreamLogic, and architected its high-performance SMT network processor. Before that, he was a chief architect at National Semiconductor and at Weitek. In 1985 he was a chief architect at Delco Electronics, General Motors (GM), where he architected a GM engine control. This heavily multithreaded real-time processor is still used in all GM cars today. Mario was one of the first to understand the power of multithreading, which he termed dynamic multistreaming and first published on this subject in Micro-24 in 1991. He subsequently published results on SMT in HICSS (in 1993 and 1994) and in PACT (in 1995). Mario holds 42 issued and 24 pending patents has co-authored over 20 publications. Mario has received multiple awards and been on the cover pages several technical magazines.  Just last year he was named Entrepreneur of the year and also one of the 100 most influential Latinos in the area by the Hispanic Net in San Jose,CA.  Mario received his PhD in ECE from University of California at Santa Barbara in 1990.
