Brucek Khailany is a co-founder and principal architect at SPI. Dr. Khailany has been researching parallel processors, power-efficient design, VLSI design methodologies, and computer arithmetic for over 10 years. Previously, as a member of the team that pioneered research into stream processor architectures at Stanford University, Dr. Khailany led a team in the silicon implementation of the Imagine stream processor, a silicon-proven chip, and demonstrated the scalability potential of the architecture beyond several TeraOps of performance in a single chip. This research resulted in over 30 publications and several patents on processor architecture and groundbreaking software models for parallel processing. Prior to Stanford, Dr. Khailany worked as an engineer for several prominent microprocessor companies. He holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University, and a B.S. in Electrical Engineeering and Computer Engineering from the University of Michigan
