Daniel Jiménez is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Texas A&M University. He was previously Assistant and later Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Rutgers University, and Professor and Chair of the Department of Computer Science at UT San Antonio. Dr. Jiménez received his Ph.D. in Computer Sciences from UT Austin in 2002. He is interested in characterizing and exploiting the predictability of programs to improve microarchitecture. He pioneered the development of neural-inspired branch predictors, which have been implemented in microprocessors from AMD, Oracle, and Samsung. Dr. Jiménez designed the neural branch predictor for the Samsung Exynos M1 which is used in the popular Samsung Galaxy S7. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE, an ACM Distinguished Scientist, an NSF CAREER award winner, and member of the HPCA and MICRO halls of fame. He was the General Chair of IEEE HPCA in 2011, Program Chair for IEEE HPCA in 2017, and Chair of IEEE Technical Committee on Computer Architecture (TCCA) in 2018. See less
