![]() Unfortunately, it was too many years ahead of its time and was never completed. It was the main idea behind the IBM SCISM project. He called this concept “compounding.” vii For example, at IBM decades ago, he was a pioneer in micro-operation fusing, a technique that is only recently seeing the light of day in products of both Intel and AMD. His work has inspired many scientists and continues to be the basis for many patents and industrial products. It is impossible to describe all of Stamatis’ scientific contributions in this short introduction. Stamatis was an IEEE Fellow, an ACM Fellow, and a member of the Royal Dutch Academy of science (KNAW). He developed the Computer Engineering laboratory there, which is today one of the strongest groups in the field with more than 50 PhD students from many different countries. In 1995, he returned to Europe as the Chaired Professor specializing in computer architecture at TU Delft in the Netherlands. While working for IBM Stamatis also served on the ECE faculties of Cornell University, Ithaca, NY and the State University of New York (SUNY), Binghamton, NY. For his accomplishments, he received numerous awards including 24 Publication Awards, 15 Invention Achievement Awards and an Outstanding Innovation Award for Engineering/Scientific Hardware Design in 1989. During his time at IBM, he was awarded 73 USA patents, ranking him as the top all time IBM inventor. He held leadership positions in many advanced research projects. At IBM he was involved in a number of projects in computer design, computer organization, and computer architecture. After graduation Stamatis moved to the USA and worked for IBM at the Advanced Workstations and Systems laboratory in Austin, Texas, the Mid-Hudson Valley laboratory in Poughkeepsie, New York, and the Glendale laboratory in Endicott, New York. It was there he learned a lot about science, but also about good food, friendships and many other aspects of life. As a result, Italy has always had a very special place in his heart. Stamatis Vassiliadis did his doctoral study at Politechnico di Milano. For those of you who have chosen to read this book and are not familiar with the scientific achievements of Stamatis Vassiliadis, we have provided this very short snapshot. As a child, he walked many kilometers through the mountains to reach his school and would study at night using the light of an oil lamp as a grown up he became one of the recognized scientific world leaders in computer architecture. In between, he led a very remarkable life. He passed away on April 7th, 2007 in Pijnacker, in the Netherlands. Stamatis Vassiliadis was born in the small village of Manolates, on the Mediterranean island of Samos, Greece on July 19th, 1951.
