Muhammad Aater Suleman, electrical and computer engineering doctoral student at The University of Texas at Austin, is one of 26 graduate students nationwide to be awarded an Intel Ph.D. Fellowship by the Intel Foundation. Suleman was chosen by Intel Fellows for his thesis titled: Hardware/Software Symbiosis for Asymmetric Chip-Multiprocessors. His
research proposes a parallel processor design he cals “Asymmetric Chip Multiprocessor.” Unlike today's computers which contain multiple similar processors, his design combines a few fast and many slow processors. His approach increases speed, eases software development, and enables many-processor systems.
The prize covers tuition stipend, connection with an Intel technical leader working in the student’s area of study and a travel grant to meet their respective Intel technical leaders. Suleman’s faculty advisor is Dr. Yale Patt, professor of electrical and computer engineering.
