Intel Appoints Four New Fellows and New Vice President - FormerSanta Clara 30 August 2001 Intel Corporation announced that four individuals from the Compaq Alpha developer team have been appointed to the company's highest technical position, Intel Fellow. The new Intel Fellows are Joel S. Emer, Tryggve Fossum, William J. Grundmann and P. Geoffrey Lowney. Additionally, Intel announced that Daniel J. Casaletto has been appointed vice president, Intel Architecture Group.
These appointments result of the recent agreement with Compaq
Computer Corporation to transfer key enterprise processor
technology to Intel and consolidate Compaq's entire 64-bit
server family on the Intel Itanium microprocessor family. The
four Fellows and newly named vice president are among more than
200 former Compaq microprocessor engineers and designer who have
already joined Intel as part of the agreement. The addition of
this group of highly skilled technical personnel will add
substantially to the strength of Intel Itanium Processor family
development.
New Intel Fellows
Joel Emer is director of microarchitecture research at Intel's
Massachusetts Microprocessor Design Center (MMDC) in Shrewsbury,
Mass. Emer, 47, is responsible for leading research in 64-bit
microarchitecture design at the MMDC. He received a bachelor's
degree in electrical
engineering in 1974 and his master's degree in 1975, both from
Purdue University. He earned a doctorate in electrical
engineering from the University of Illinois in 1979. Emer holds
nine patents with three others pending.
Tryggve Fossum is director of microarchitecture development at
the Intel MMDC. Fossum, 56, is responsible for leading the team
of architects helping to develop the next generation of Intel
Itanium processors. Fossum received a Cand Mag degree in science
from the University of Oslo in 1968. He earned his master's and
doctorate degrees in mathematics from the
University of Illinois in 1970 and 1972, respectively. Fossum
holds 27 patents on various aspects of computer design --
including floating point processing, multithreading and cache
organization technologies -- as a result of his work on VAX and
Alpha processors.
William Grundmann is director of design technologies at Intel's
MMDC. Grundmann, 49, is responsible for specification and
development of design methodology and computer-aided design
(CAD) tools for microprocessor design. He received his
bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Oklahoma State
University in 1974. Grundmann holds five patents.
Geoff Lowney is the director of compiler and architecture
advanced development at the Intel MMDC. Lowney, 48, is
responsible for advanced compiler technology in future Intel
Itanium processor family products. Lowney received his
bachelor's degree in mathematics and master's and doctorate
degrees in computer science from Yale University in 1975, 1978
and 1983, respectively. He holds six patents with an additional
six patent disclosures filed.
New Vice President
Daniel Casaletto is vice president of the Intel Architecture
Group and general manager of the Intel Massachusetts
Microprocessor Design Center. In this role, Casaletto, 51, has
managerial responsibility for all research and development
activities at the MMDC. Casaletto received his bachelor's and
master's degrees in electrical engineering from Northeastern
University in 1972 and 1976, respectively.
