Paolo is a Distinguished Technologist in the Intelligent Infrastructure Lab at HP Labs. His research interests skirt the boundary of hardware and software, including low power servers and systems-on-chip, highly-parallel and distributed systems, ILP and VLIW architectures, compilers and embedded systems. Paolo's current research focus is on system-level integration for low energy servers and scale-out architectures. From 2006 to 2010 Paolo led the HP Labs group in Barcelona (Spain) with a research focus on system-level modeling and simulation. Paolo's team developed a simulation platform (called COTSon) whose goal was to model large-scale computing systems of thousands of multi-/many-core processors and their interconnection network. COTSon was released as Open Source in Jan 2010 and is available at http://cotson.sourceforge.net. In 2003 Paolo started the Barcelona Research Office (BRO), a satellite HP Labs organization expanding HPL’s research presence in continental Europe. Initially, the BRO team researched the parallel computing aspects of content-processing applications and developed the large-scale content processing system (Chronos) used to recapture 80 years of TIME magazines (see Time Archive + HP) whose result is now available in the Time Archive. From 1995 to 2002 Paolo was the technical lead of the “Custom-Fit Processors” Project at HP Labs Cambridge. In that role, he was the principal architect of the instruction set architecture (ISA) of the Lx/ST200 family of VLIW embedded processor cores (developed as a partnership between HP Labs and STMicroelectronics). He supervised the design of the prototype compiler and simulator, the interface with the microarchitecture team, the application tuning activities, and the technology transfers. The ST200 family is used today in a variety of audio, video and imaging consumer products, including HP's multifunction printing/scanning devices. As of the 2009 article in the "IEEE Solid State Circuit Magazine", STMicroelectronics has shipped over 40 million systems-on-chip for digital video containing one or more VLIW processor core from the ST200 family. Paolo is an active member of the computer architecture community, and regularly serves in program and organization committees. He is guest editor of the 2012 edition of IEEE Micro TopPicks. He was Program Chair for HiPEAC10 (2010), MICRO41 (2008) and in for MICRO34 (2001). He also was General Chair for MICRO38 (2005), Progam Chair for CASES'03 (2003) and General Chair for CASES’05 (2005). He is a co-inventor in 16 patents and several others patent applications. He is a co-author (with Josh Fisher and Cliff Young) of the book “Embedded Computing: a VLIW approach to architecture, compiler end tools”). Paolo also serves in the industrial advisory board of the HiPEAC European network of excellence. Before joining HP in 1994, Paolo received a Ph.D (Dottorato) in EECS in 1993 and an M.S. (Laurea) in Electrical Engineering in 1989 from the University of Genoa (Italy).
