Tor Aamodt is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of British Columbia and a Visiting Associate Professor in the Computer Science Department at Stanford University. He received his BASc (in Engineering Science), MASc and PhD at the University of Toronto. His current research focuses on architecture and microarchitecture of manycore accelerators such as graphics processing units (GPUs), heterogeneous multicore processors, and analytical performance modeling of modern processor architectures. His research on hardware transactional memory on GPUs was selected as a "Top Pick" from computer architecture conferences by IEEE Micro magazine. He is an Associate Editor for IEEE Computer Architecture Letters, the Program Chair forISPASS 2013, and has served on numerous program committees. As a graduate student, he spent about a year as an intern in Intel's Microarchitecture Research Lab. He worked at NVIDIA on theGeForce 8 Series GPU, which was the first NVIDIA GPU to support CUDA.
