Main Researchers

Jose Duato received the MS and PhD degrees in electrical engineering from the Technical Univer- sity of Valencia, Spain, in 1981 and 1985, respectively. Currently, Dr. Duato is Professor in the Department of Computer Engineering (DISCA), and was an adjunct professor in the Department of Computer and Information Science, The Ohio State University (1999-2000).

Prof. Duato’s current research interests include interconnection networks, on-chip networks, and multicore and multiprocessor architectures. Prof. Duato has published over 500 refereed papers. According to Google Scholar, his publications received more than 13,000 citations, has an h-index of 53, and an i10-index of 238. He proposed a powerful theory of deadlock-free adaptive routing for wormhole networks. Versions of this theory have been used in the design of the routing algorithms for the MIT Reliable Router, the Cray T3E supercomputer, the on-chip router of the Alpha 21364 microprocessor, and the IBM BlueGene/L supercomputer. Prof. Duato also developed RECN, a scalable congestion management technique, and a very efficient routing algorithm for fat trees that has been incorporated into Sun Microsystem’s 3456-port InfiniBand Magnum switch. Prof. Duato led the Advanced Technology Group in the HyperTransport Con- sortium, and was the main contributor to the development and standardization of an extension to HyperTransport (High Node Count HyperTransport Specification 1.0). Prof. Duato also led the development of rCUDA, which enables remote virtualized access to GP-GPU accelerators using a CUDA interface.

Prof. Duato is the first author of the book Interconnection Networks: An Engineering Approach. This book was co-authored by Prof. Sudhakar Yalamanchili, from Georgia Institute of Technol- ogy, and Prof. Lionel Ni, from Michigan State University. It was published by IEEE Computer Society Press in 1997, and for many years it has been the reference book on interconnection networks. The revised printing edition of this book has been published by Morgan Kaufmann in 2003. Prof. Duato is also a co-author, together with Prof. Timothy Pinkston, from University of Southern California, of the appendix on interconnection networks in the fourth and fifth edi- tions of the book Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach, by John Hennessy and David Patterson.

Prof. Duato served in the editorial boards of IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Sys- tems, IEEE Transactions on Computers, and IEEE Computer Architecture Letters. He served as Co-Chair, member of the Steering Committee, Vice-Chair, or member of the Program Committee in more than 60 conferences, including the most prestigious conferences in his field (HPCA, ISCA, IPPS/SPDP/IPDPS, ICPP, ICDCS, Europar, HiPC).

Prof. Duato was awarded with the National Research Prize in 2009 and the “Rey Jaime I” Prize in 2006, delivered by the King and the Queen of Spain, respectively.

Pedro Cuenca received his M.Sc. degree in Physics (Electronics and Computer Science, extraordinary award) from the University of Valencia in 1994. He received his Ph.D. degree in Computer Engineering in 1999 from the Polytechnic University of Valencia. In 1995 he joined the Department of Computer Engineering at the University of Castilla-La Mancha (Spain), where he is currently a Full Professor. He has also been a visiting researcher at Nottingham Trent University, University of Ottawa and University of Surrey. His research topics are centered in the area of video compression, QoS video transmission, and video applications for multicore and GPU architectures. He has published over 150 papers in international journals and conferences. He has served in the organization of International Conferences as Chair and Technical Program Chair. He was the Chair of the IFIP 6.8 Working Group during the 2006–2012 period. He has also been the Dean of the Faculty of Computer Engineering at the University of Castilla-La Mancha during the 2008–2016 period.
