The 2019 ACM SIGARCH Maurice Wilkes Award goes to Prof. Onur Mutlu for "innovative contributions in efficient and secure DRAM systems."
Prof. Onur Mutlu is the head of the Institute for High Performance Computing Systems at the Department of Computer Science and leads the SAFARI Research Group. His research lies in the areas of computer architecture, computer hardware security and energy-efficient computing, with a strong focus on memory systems. This year Prof. Onur Mutlu was honoured with the ACM SIGARCH Maurice Wilkes Award for his “innovative contributions in efficient and secure DRAM systems.” The notable award is given out each year to a mid-career researcher to recognise "outstanding contributions to computer architecture."
About the Award
The award is named after Maurice V. Wilkes, a British computer scientist and a Turing Award winner, who designed and helped build the Electronic delay storage automatic calculator, one of the earliest stored program computers, and who is the father of microprogramming, which has been used in microprocessors for more than 60 years.
