作者简介：
　　John Paul Shen is the Director of Intel's Microarchitecture Research Lab (MRL), providing leadership to about two-dozen highly skilled researchers located in Santa Clara, CA; Hillsboro, OR; and Austin, TX. MRL is responsible for de- veloping innovative microarchitecture techniques that can potentially be used in future microprocessor products from Intel. MRL researchers collaborate closely with microarchi-tects from product teams in joint advanced-development efforts. MRL frequently hosts visiting faculty and Ph.D.interns and conducts joint research projects with academic research groups.
Prior to joining Intel in 2000, John was a professor in the electrical and computer engineering department of Carnegie Mellon University, where he headed up the CMU Microarchitecture Research Team (CMuART). He has supervised a total of 16 Ph.D. students during his years at CMU.Seven are currently with Intel, and five have faculty positions in academia. He won multiple teaching awards at CMU. He was an NSF Presidential Young Investigator.He is an IEEE Fellow and has served on the program committees of ISCA, MICRO,HPCA, ASPLOS, PACT, ICCD, ITC, and FFCS.
He has published over 100 research papers in diverse areas, including fault-tolerant computing, built-in self-test, process defect and fault analysis, concurrenterror detection, application-specific processors, performance evaluation, compila-tion for instruction-level parallelism, value locality and prediction, analytical mod-eling of superscalar processors, systematic microarchitecture test generation, per-formance simulator validation, precomputation-based prefetching, database workload analysis, and user-level helper threads.
John received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Southern California, and his B.S. degree from the University of Michigan, all in electrical engineering. He attended Kimball High School in Royal Oak, Michigan. He is happily married and has three daughters. His family enjoys camping, road trips, and reading The Lord of the Rings.
