A Short Bio
Our Ultracomputer group studies a wide range of issues in highly
parallel computing. We have constructed two generations of hardware
an 8-processor, bus-based system in the 1980s and a 16-processor,
16-memory module system in the 90s. Both systems have hardware
support for fetch-and-add, our coordination primitive. The newer
system contains full-custom switches of our own design that combine
simultaneous references to the same memory address, thereby avoiding
one important class of hot spot contention problems. We have a very
highly parallel operating system Symunix running on both systems.
I was born 2 August 1945 in Queens NYC to Frances and Irving Gottlieb.
When I was five, my family moved to a NYC surburb called Elmont, Long
Island where I attended the public schools through high school. I
went to MIT as an undergraduate and Brandeis as a graduate student.
All my degrees are in mathematics.
My introduction to computers (specifially an IBM 650 and a
Bendix G15) occured during high school when I attended the Columbia
University Science Honors Program on Saturdays.
My beautiful wife Alice is an associate medical director at
Hoffman-LaRoche. She obtained a Ph.D. in immunology from Rockefeller
University, an M.D. from Cornell Medical School, and medical
subspeciality degrees from N.Y. Hospital and the Hospital for Special
Surgery. My two active boys, David and Michael, are in middle school
and fourth grade respectively (1994-95). I hope to have a family
photo available soon.
