Jacob is a Ph.D. student in the Computer Science Department at Stanford University, where he studies under Prof. Christos Kozyrakis. His current research focuses on evaluating how key design decisions in a chip multiprocessor's memory system impact performance and efficiency and how emerging multimedia workloads influence the design of general-purpose CMPs. He received his B.S. in Computer Science in 2004 from the University of Texas at Austin under the tutelage of Prof. Doug Burger and contributed to the TRIPS project.
