Kiyofumi Tanaka
Dr. Kiyofumi Tanaka, Associate Professor at Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, is a researcher with a substantial experience in computer architecture, operating systems, and real-time embedded systems fields. He was born in Japan, in 1971. He obtained B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. from the University of Tokyo. He is working on two major research topics, high-performance/energy-aware processor architecture including efficient hierarchical cache memories, and real-time embedded systems including fast response mechanisms and practical real-time embedded operating systems. In his research career, he developed a parallel computer with hardware-controlled distributed shared memories and a highly functional interconnection network, real-time embedded RISC processors with multi-contexts and various mechanisms for fast interrupt response, and a real-time embedded operating system with adaptive task scheduling ability.
