Dr. Daniel A. Jiménez.
Dr. Daniel A. Jiménez, professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Texas A&M University, has been elected chair of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Computer Society Technical Committee on Computer Architecture (TCCA).
TCCA is a community of researchers and practitioners involved in the architecture (integrated hardware and software design) of general- and special-purpose computers. In addition to overseeing the IEEE Computer Society’s computer architecture-related research activities, the committee also regularly sponsors and cosponsors several annual conferences, including the International Symposium on Computer Architecture (ISCA) and the International Symposium on High-Performance Computer Architecture (HPCA).
As chair, Jiménez will lead an executive committee comprised of highly qualified computer architects elected from a slate of candidates nominated from the best researchers in academia and industry. He will also serve as the co-chair of the ISCA Steering Committee. He will serve a four-year term.
Jiménez’s research interests are in computer architecture, particularly microarchitectural prediction and memory hierarchy optimization. He is an IEEE Fellow, recipient of the 2021 B. Ramakrishna Rau Award, a National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development Award winner and an Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Distinguished Scientist. Jiménez’s 2001 HPCA paper on perceptron-based branch prediction won the HPCA Test of Time Award in 2019. In addition, he co-authored a paper on branch prediction that received a best paper award at the 2022 IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Microarchitecture.
