Peter Kogge

Peter Michael Kogge ( born December 3, 1946 in Washington DC) is an American computer architect.

Kogge studied at the University of Notre Dame Electrical Engineering with a bachelor 's degree in 1968 and from Syracuse University with a Master 's degree in 1970. He received his doctorate in 1973 at Stanford University. From 1968 to 1994 he was with IBM. Since 1994 he is professor at the University of Notre Dame. From 2001 to 2008 he was associate dean for research there in the College of Engineering.

During his tenure at IBM, he was from 1977 Adjunct Professor at the State University of New York at Binghamton. In 1977 he was a visiting professor at the University of Massachusetts and from 1997 he was a visiting scientist at the Center for Integrated Space Microsystems, Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

His dissertation dealt with the solution of difference equations with parallel algorithms and it was a work out with Harold Stone, who defined the Kogge -Stone adder. He is still regarded as the fastest implementation of addition in computers.

He designed the Space Shuttle at IBM I / O computer, the first in space parallel computers used. He also designed the first multi-core processor Execube and other advanced architectures such as IBM and the IBM 3838 RTAIS Array Processor.

In 1982 he published the first book on pipeline processors. At the University of Notre Dame, he led a DARPA study for the feasibility of Exascale Computing ( with 1000X power of current computer to the peta- scale) .. He also deals with PIM architectures, where memory and processing units are interlocked tightly ( PIM for processing in memory).

He is involved in several supercomputer projects that use PIM, such as the Cascade project ( Cray XC 30) Cray and the PIM -lite project with Jay Brockman of the University of Notre Dame.

In 1990 he became IEEE Fellow and IBM 1993. In 2012 he received the Seymour Cray Award.
