Ajay Tirumala, Senior Manager of GPU Architecture (UIUC alumnus)

Ajay received his Ph.D. in Computer Science at UIUC in 2006 and he’s been with NVIDIA since then. He’s been the Architecture lead for several generations of NVIDIA products – and for the last few years, as the lead architect and co-inventor for independent thread progress, data uniformity and reduction features in the GPU. He currently manages the Streaming Multiprocessor (SM) Core Architecture team, responsible for the SM’s math and control units. The unified SM Architecture forms a critical part of both data center (e.g., Ampere A100) and consumer (e.g., Ampere RTX 3080/3090) line of products, accelerating a wide range of workloads from deep learning to cutting edge graphics. He was previously also a part of NVIDIA Research.
