System Simulation - Virtual Platforms

I have worked at IBM since 1994. While I have been in IBM Research since 2000, I have also worked in the Microelectronics and Systems divisions. Starting in 2000, I led the development of a new software simulation platform for IBM hardware designs. This simulation environment is internally referred to as Mambo. This platform has been used to model many IBM designs including:
  • Sony, IBM, Toshiba Cell
  • BlueGene
  • Microsoft XBox-360 chip
  • Wii chip
  • POWER7
  • PowerPC 750 *
  • PowerPC 4xx

Mobile Systems Management

More recently, I have begun exploratory work on leveraging mobile platforms to manage IBM servers. As part of this work, I released an iOS app called IBM Mobile Systems Remote on Apple's App Store in March 2011. This work was a collaboration between Research and STG.
