Stan Mazor

Stan Mazor first joined Fairchild Semiconductor and then year-old Intel Corporation working under Ted Hoff on the Busicom calculator project, designing the first microprocessor. Mazor assisted in its architecture and wrote software for the Intel 4004. He was a co-developer of Intel's popular 8080 CPU. Stan then began teaching in Intel's Technical Training group. Later he taught microcomputer courses at Stanford University and several other universities. Stan worked on circuit analysis programs and logic simulation at both Fairchild and Intel, and that led him to join a CAD start-up. Following the CAD route, he joined Synopsys. Writing from his experience, he published a book about VHDL and logic synthesis. His honors include: SFSU Wall of Fame, SIA Robert Noyce Award, PC Magazine lifetime achievement award, Kyoto Prize, Inventors Hall of Fame, Ron Brown American Innovator Award and in 2009 the Fellow of the Computer History Museum. In 2010, Stan was awarded the National Medal of Science and Technology by President Obama. Wikipedia lists Stan Mazor's accomplishments.

Dr. John L. Gustafson

Dr. John L. Gustafson is a Professor in the School of Computing at the National University of Singapore and a Visiting Scientist at the Agency for Science, Technology, and Research (A*STAR). He is the inventor of several novel forms of computer arithmetic first introduced in his 2015 book, The End of Error: Unum Computing. He is best known for his 1988 argument showing that parallel processing performance need not be limited by "Amdahl's Law", with the corrected form now generally known as Gustafson's Law. Previously, he has been Senior Fellow and Chief Product Architect at AMD and a Director of Intel Labs. He is a recipient of the inaugural Gordon Bell Prize and is a Golden Core member of IEEE.
