David August (computer Scientist)
David I. August (born November 27, 1970) is a professor of computer science at Princeton University specializing in compilers and computer architecture. August is a strong advocate of alternatives to parallel programming to address the software impact of multi-core computing. August was born in Troy, New York and raised in Parsippany-Troy Hills, New Jersey, graduated ''summa cum laude'' in electrical engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1993, and received his PhD in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2000 under advisor Wen-mei Hwu. His thesis, entitled ''Systematic Compilation for Predicated Execution'', represented a breakthrough in compilers. Specifically, it showed how a compiler could generate efficient code for architectures with branch predication, such as Intel's IA-64. In 1999, August was selected as one of five new Ph.D.'s to watch by the '' Chronicle of Higher Education''. Since then ...
