NVIDIA Hires Bill Dally as new chief scientist
I must have missed this story, but on Wednesday NVIDIA named the chairman of Stanford University's computer science department as its new chief scientist, a particularly important position for the world's largest graphics chip supplier as it wages a technological war with Intel. Bill Dally will replace David Kirk, a renowned scientist in his own right, who will become an Nvidia fellow. Good luck to both as they enter their new positions!
"Bill is legendary in the computer industry," said Jen-Hsun Huang, president and chief executive officer of Nvidia, in response to an e-mail query Wednesday. "He has made fundamental contributions, from parallel computing architectures to interconnects to low power designs to super fast I/Os" Huang said. "I expect him to contribute at all of those levels and more. And he will take forward David's work of building Nvidia research into one of the most regarded labs in the world."
