Gary Tyson received his PhD in Computer Science from the University of
California - Davis and is currently Associate Chairman in the Computer
Science department at Florida State University. His research areas span
all aspects of computer architecture and compiler optimization.
His most recent efforts have
concentrated on the design of high-performance single-chip processors
with a focus on how the compiler can organize microarchitectural resources
to provide the highest performance. Gary and his students have published
numerous papers on cache organization and have designed several embedded
processors. His research is funded by the National Science
Foundation, Intel Corporation, IBM, and (of course) taxpayers throughout
the country.
