He is now writing a book with Cambridge University Press

Distinguished EngineerFor contributions to multi-core computing, warehouse scale data-center architectures, and energy proportional computingOver the past decade, Luiz has played a leading role in the definition and implementation of Googles cluster architecture which has become a blueprint for the computing systems behind the worlds leading Internet services. As the first manager of moncler jacket green Googles Platforms Engineering team, he helped deliver multiple generations of cluster systems, including the worlds first container-based data center. His theoretical and engineering insights into the requirements of this class of machinery have influenced the processor industry roadmap towards more effective products for server-class computing. His book "The Datacenter as a Computer" (co-authored with Urs Hoelzle) was the first authoritative publication describing these so-called warehouse-scale computers for computer systems professionals and researchers. Luiz was among the first computer scientists to recognize and articulate the importance of energy-related costs for large data centers, and identify energy proportionality as a key property of energy efficient data centers. Prior to Google, at Digital Equipment Corporation's Western Research Laboratory, he worked on Piranha, a pioneering chip-multiprocessing architecture that inspired todays popular multi-core products. As one of the lead architects and designers of Piranha, his papers, ideas and numerous presentations stimulated much of the research that led to products decades later.Richard Lyon: Research ScientistFor contributions to machine perception and for the invention of the optical mouseIn the last four years moncler bady jacket blue at Google, Dick led the team developing new camera systems and improved photographic image processing for Street View, while leading another team developing technologies for machine hearing and their application to sound retrieval and ranking. , and will teach a Stanford course this fall on "Human and Machine Hearing," returning to a line of work that he carried out at Xerox, Schlumberger, and Apple while also doing the optical mouse, bit-serial VLSI computing machines, and handwriting recognition. The optical mouse (1980) is especially called out in the citation, because it exemplifies the field of "semi-digital" techniques that he developed, which also led to his work on the first single-chip Ethernet device. And more recently, as chief scientist at Foveon, Dick invented and developed several new techniques for color image sensing and processing, and delivered acclaimed cameras and end-user software. A hallmark of Dicks work during his distinguished career has been a practical interplay between theory, including biological theory, and practical computing.Dr. S. Muthukrishnan: Research ScientistFor contributions to efficient algorithms for string matching, data streams, and Internet ad auctionsMuthu has made significant contributions to the theory and practice of Internet ad systems during his more than four years at Google. Muthu's breakthrough WWW09 paper presented a general stable matching framework that produces a (desirable) truthful mechanism capturing all of the common variations and more, in contradiction to prevailing wisdom. In display ads, moncler bady jacket black where image, video and other types of ads are shown as users browse, Muthu led Ad Exchange at Google, to automate placement of display ads that were previously negotiated offline by sales teams. Prior to Google, Muthu was well known for his pioneering work in the area of data stream algorithmics (including a definitive book on the subject), which led to theoretical and practical advances still in use today to monitor the health and smooth operation of the Internet. Muthu has a talent for bringing new perspectives to longstanding open problems as exemplified in the work he did on string processing. Muthu has made influential contributions to many other areas and problems including IP networks, data compression, scheduling, computational biology, distributed algorithms and database technology. As an educator, Muthus avant garde teaching style won him the Award for Excellence in Graduate Teaching at Rutgers CS, where is on the faculty.
