MIT Professor Arvind Wins IEEE Computer Society Goode Award

LOS ALAMITOS, Calif., 18 April, 2012 – Massachusetts Institute of Technology Professor Arvind, a world-renowned leader in computer languages for parallel processing, has been named the winner of the IEEE Computer Society’s 2012 Harry H. Goode Award.

Arvind, MIT’s Johnson Professor of Computer Science and Engineering, was recognized “for fundamental contributions to research in dataflow computing, memory models, and cache coherence protocols.”

The Goode Award was established to recognize achievement in the information-processing field–either a single contribution of theory, design, or technique of outstanding significance; or the accumulation of important contributions on theory or practice over an extended period.

Arvind received his MS and PhD in Computer Science from the University of Minnesota in 1972 and 1973, respectively, and his B. Tech. in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, in 1969. Prior to joining MIT, Arvind taught at the University of California, Irvine, from 1974 to 1978, and at IIT Kanpur from 1977 to 1978.

Arvind has contributed to the development of dynamic dataflow architectures, the implicitly parallel programming languages Id and pH, and the compilation of these types of languages on parallel machines. Dr. R. S. Nikhil and Arvind published the book “Implicit Parallel Programming in pH” in 2001.

In 1992, Arvind's group, in collaboration with Motorola, completed the Monsoon dataflow machine and its associated software. A dozen of these machines were built and installed at Los Alamos National Labs and other universities, before Monsoon was retired to the Computer History Museum in the Silicon Valley.

In 2000, Arvind started Sandburst, a fabless semiconductor company to produce a chip set for 10G-bit Ethernet routers. He served as its President until his return to MIT in September 2002. Sandburst was acquired by Broadcom in 2006. In 2003, Arvind co-founded Bluespec Inc, an EDA company to produce a set of tools for high-level synthesis, and serves on its board.

Arvind's current research focus is on enabling rapid development of embedded systems using Guarded Atomic Actions. He continues to be interested in memory models and cache coherence protocols for parallel architectures and languages.

Arvind is a Fellow of IEEE and ACM, and a member of the National Academy of Engineering. Further information about the Goode Award, including a list of past recipients, can be found at: http://www.computer.org/portal/web/awards/harrygoode.

Rice University's Moshe Vardi Wins Goode Award

LOS ALAMITOS, Calif., 24 March, 2011 -- Rice University computer scientist Moshe Vardi has been named the winner of the IEEE Computer Society's 2011 Harry H. Goode Award.

Vardi, Rice's Karen Ostrum George Professor in Computational Engineering and director of Rice's Ken Kennedy Institute for Information Technology, is a renowned logician and member of the National Academy of Engineering. He also holds the high-profile post of editor-in-chief of the Association of Computing Machinery's Communications of the ACM.

The Goode Award was established to recognize achievement in the information-processing field -- either a single contribution of theory, design, or technique of outstanding significance; or the accumulation of important contributions on theory or practice over an extended period. In announcing this year's award, the society said Vardi was honored for his "fundamental and lasting contributions to the development of logic as a unifying foundational framework and a tool for modeling computational systems."

Logic, which is sometimes called "the calculus of computer science," is fundamental to research areas such as artificial intelligence, computational complexity, distributed computing, database systems, design verification, programming languages, and software engineering. Using logic as a framework, Vardi has cultivated research in intelligent databases, multi-agent systems, and automated reasoning.

Vardi earned his doctorate from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1981 and is the author and co-author of approximately 400 articles and two books, "Reasoning about Knowledge" and "Finite Model Theory and Its Applications." He was honored with the 2010 Outstanding Contribution to ACM Award for his leadership, including the organization of an influential 2006 report on overseas job outsourcing in the software industry. The report dispelled some myths about software offshoring and reinforced the case that computing plays a fundamental role in defining success in a competitive global economy.

Vardi's other awards include the 2010 Distinguished Service Award from the Computing Research Association, the 2000 Goedel Prize for outstanding papers in the area of theoretical computer science and the 2008 ACM Presidential Award. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Science, the European Academy of Sciences, and the Academia Europea; and he is a Guggenheim Fellow and a fellow of IEEE, the ACM, the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence.

Valero, whose research interests focus on high-performance architectures, is also the director of the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre, Spain’s national supercomputing center. He is a former winner of the Eckert-Mauchly Award, co-sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society and ACM, which recognizes contributions to digital systems and computer architecture.

Valero is also the recipient of two national Spanish awards— the Julio Rey Pastor Award, which recognizes research on IT technologies, and the Leonardo Torres Quevedo Award, which recognizes research in engineering. He has been awarded honorary doctorates by the University of Chalmers, University of Belgrade, University of Las Palmas de Gran Canarias in Spain, and the University of Veracruz in Mexico.

Valero helped found the Royal Spanish Academy of Engineering in 1994 and became an academic correspondent for the Spanish Royal Academy of Science in 2005 and a member of the Royal Spanish Academy of Doctors and Academy of Europe the following year.

He is a Fellow of the IEEE and ACM and an Intel Distinguished Research Fellow. In 1998, his hometown, Zaragoza named him a Favourite Son and also named its public college after him.

He has published about 500 papers, helped organize more than 200 international conferences, and has delivered more than 300 invited talks.

The Goode Award recognizes achievement in the information processing field—either a single contribution of theory, design, or technique of outstanding significance, or the accumulation of important contributions on theory or practice over an extended period.

The 2008 winner of the Goode Award was Dharma P. Agarawal, who was recognized for his contributions and leadership in wireless and mobile systems, including ad-hoc, sensor, and mesh networks.
