Congratulations to Professor Kunle Olukotun! He has received the 2023 IEEE CS Eckert-Mauchly Award for contributions and leadership in the development of parallel systems, especially multicore and multithreaded processors.

Kunle is the Cadence Design Systems Professor and a Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. He is the Director of the Pervasive Parallel Lab and a member of the Data Analytics for What's Next (DAWN) Lab, developing infrastructure for usable machine learning. Kunle has authored more than 200 publications which have received over 20,000 citations, and he has been issued 12 patents. He has also co-founded several companies. Kunle is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, an ACM Fellow, and an IEEE Fellow. He also received the IEEE Harry H. Goode Memorial Award.

Kunle will be formally recognized with the Eckert-Mauchly Award during an awards luncheon on Tuesday, June 20th at the International Symposium on Computer Architecture (ISCA 2023).

About the ACM-IEEE CS Eckert-Mauchly Award ACM and IEEE Computer Society co-sponsor the Eckert-Mauchly Award, which was initiated in 1979. It recognizes contributions to computer and digital systems architecture and comes with a $5,000 prize. The award was named for John Presper Eckert and John William Mauchly, who collaborated on the design and construction of the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC), the pioneering large-scale electronic computing machine, which was completed in 1947.

Please join us in congratulating Kunle!
