José Flich obtained his Ph.D. in 2001 in Computer Engineering. He is an Associate Professor at UPV where he leads the research activities related to NoCs. He published over 100 conference and journal papers, and has served in different conference program committees (ISCA, NOCS, ICPP, IPDPS, HiPC, CAC, CASS, ICPADS, ISCC), as program chair (INA-OCMC, CAC) and track co-chair (EUROPAR). José Flich has collaborated with different Institutions (Ferrara, Catania, Jonkoping, USC) and companies (AMD, Intel, Sun). His current research activities focus on routing, coherency protocols and congestion management within NoCs. He has co-invented different routing strategies, reconfiguration and congestion control mechanisms, some of them with high recognition (RECN and LBDR for on-chip networks). He is a member of the Hipeac-2 NoE. He is Coeditor of the book Designing Network-on-Chip Architectures in the Nanoscale Era, and is the Coordinator of the FP7 NaNoC project (objective 3.1).

Scott Pakin has worked since 2002 as a Research Scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory. His current research interests include analyzing and improving the performance of high-performance computing systems with particular emphasis on the communication subsystem. He has published papers on such topics as high-speed messaging layers, language design and implementation, job-scheduling algorithms, and resource-management systems. He received a B.S. in Mathematics/Computer Science with Research Honors from Carnegie Mellon University in May 1992, an M.S. in Computer Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in January 1995, and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in October 2001.

Craig Stunkel is a Research Staff Member at IBM’s T. J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, NY. He received the B.S. and M.S. degrees from Oklahoma State University in 1982 and 1983, and the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Illinois, Urbana in 1990. Craig joined IBM Research in 1990. He contributed extensively to the interconnection networks of several generations of IBM supercomputing systems. Dr. Stunkel is currently exploring architectures of future supercomputing systems, and is co-designing a workload-optimized supercomputer. His research interests include parallel architectures, applications, algorithms, and performance analysis.
