Daniel Angel Jiménez

Daniel A. Jiménez is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Texas A&M University. Previously he was Assistant and later Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Rutgers University, then Associate Professor, then Professor and Chair of the Department of Computer Science at The University of Texas at San Antonio. Daniel received his Ph.D. in Computer Sciences from the University of Texas at Austin. Daniel's research is in microarchitecture, including microarchitectural prediction and cache management. He pioneered the development of neural-inspired branch predictors that have been implemented in millions of processors sold by IBM, AMD, Oracle, Samsung, and others.

Daniel designed the neural branch predictors used in the popular Samsung Galaxy S7/8/9/10/20. His 2001 paper on perceptron-based branch prediction won the "HPCA Test of Time Award" in 2019. Daniel won the 2021 IEEE CS B. Ramakrishna Rau Award for contributions to neural branch prediction. He is an IEEE Fellow, an ACM Distinguished Scientist, an NSF CAREER award winner, and member of the ISCA, MICRO, and HPCA halls of fame. He is the Chair of the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Computer Architecture (TCCA), co-Chair of the ISCA Steering Committee, and Vice-Chair of the ACM Special Interest Group on Microarchitecture (SIGMICRO). He was General Chair of IEEE HPCA in 2011, Program Chair for IEEE HPCA in 2017, Selection Committee Chair for IEEE Micro "Top Picks" in 2020, and Program Co-Chair for MICRO 2024.
