Daniel Siewiorek
Daniel Paul Siewiorek (born June 2, 1946 in Cleveland ) is an American computer engineer.
Siewiorek studied electrical engineering at the University of Michigan with a bachelor's degree in 1968 and at Stanford University with a master's degree in 1969 and a doctorate in 1972. In 1972 he became associate professor and 1980 professor of electrical engineering and computer science at Carnegie Mellon University (later Buhl University professor ) . From 1994 to 1998 he was director of the Engineering Design Research Center and in 1998 one of the founders of its successor, the Institute for Complex Engineered Systems. From 1999 he was director of the Human Computer Interaction Institute.
From 1972 to 1986 he was a consultant for DEC .
Siewiorek developed several multiprocessor systems, including the Cm * project with 50 individual processors in the mid-1970s in collaboration with engineers from DEC (and based on their first microprocessor LSI 11). In the project, many ideas about parallel computers and their programming were tested and Siewiorek published a book about them. He is also an expert in computer system reliability and has advised the industry on this issue. He was chairman of the IEEE Technical Committee on Fault Tolerant Computing. He led an interdisciplinary team of students and engineers that developed around 20 mobile computing applications (with applications in aircraft and automobile maintenance and medicine, for example).
He is the author of several monographs, including a standard work of case studies on computer architecture that he edited with Gordon Bell .
In 1988 he received the Eckert-Mauchly Award . In 2000 he became a member of the National Academy of Engineering . He is a Fellow of the IEEE and the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).
He has been married since 1972 and has two daughters.
