David J. Kuck, a graduate of the University of Michigan, was a professor in the Computer Science Department the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign from 1965 to 1993. He is the father of Olympic silver medalist Jonathan Kuck. While at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign he developed the Parafrase compiler system (1977), which was the first testbed for the development of automatic vectorization and related program transformations. In his role as Director (1986–93) of the Center for Supercomputing Research and Development (CSRD-UIUC), Kuck led the construction of the CEDAR project, a hierarchical shared-memory 32-processor SMP supercomputer completed in 1988 at the University of Illinois.

  • David J. Kuck, a graduate of the University of Michigan, was a professor in the Computer Science Department the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign from 1965 to 1993. He is the father of Olympic silver medalist Jonathan Kuck. While at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign he developed the Parafrase compiler system (1977), which was the first testbed for the development of automatic vectorization and related program transformations. In his role as Director (1986–93) of the Center for Supercomputing Research and Development (CSRD-UIUC), Kuck led the construction of the CEDAR project, a hierarchical shared-memory 32-processor SMP supercomputer completed in 1988 at the University of Illinois. He founded Kuck and Associates (KAI) in 1979 to build a line of industry-standard optimizing compilers especially focused upon exploiting parallelism. After CSRD, Kuck transferred his full attentions to KAI and its clients at various US National Laboratories. KAI was acquired by Intel in March 2000, where Kuck currently serves as an Intel Fellow, Software and Services Group (SSG), Developer Products Division (DPD). Kuck was the sole software person on the ILLIAC IV project in contrast to all the other hardware-oriented members. Kuck is responsible not only for developing many of the initial ideas of how to restructure computer source code for parallelism but also trained many of that field's major players around the world.

  • David Jerome Kuck (* 3. Oktober 1937 in Muskegon, Michigan) ist ein US-amerikanischer Computer-Konstrukteur und Informatiker. Kuck studierte an der University of Michigan mit dem Bachelor-Abschluss 1959 sowie an der Northwestern University mit dem Master-Abschluss 1960 und der Promotion 1963. Von 1965 bis 1993 war er Professor an der University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Dort war er von 1986 bis 1993 Direktor des Center for Supercomputing Research and Development (CSRD). An der Universität war er Ende der 1970er Jahre (Parafrase Compiler 1977) ein Pionier in der Entwicklung von Compilern mit automatischer Vektorisierung und gründete 1979 Kuck and Associates (KAI), um Compiler für Vektor- und Parallelrechner zu entwickeln. Außerdem war er – als einziger Software-Experte – am ILLIAC-IV-Parallelrechner-Projekt der Universität beteiligt. In den 1980er Jahren leitete er das CEDAR-Projekt an der University of Illinois eines symmetrischen Multiprozessor-Supercomputers mit 32 Prozessoren und gemeinsamem Speicher (Shared Memory). Der Computer ging 1988 in Betrieb. Ab 1993 konzentrierte er sich auf seine Firma Kuck and Associates, die 2000 von Intel übernommen wurde. Er arbeitete danach für Intel als Intel Fellow in der Software und Services Group (SSG), Developer Products Division (DPD). Kuck war Hauptarchitekt des Burroughs Scientific Processor (BSP) und des Alliant Multiprocessor. Er leistete wesentliche Beiträge zu OpenMP. Er ist Mitglied der National Academy of Engineering und der American Association for the Advancement of Science. Er ist IEEE Fellow und Fellow der ACM. 1993 erhielt er den Eckert-Mauchly Award und 2011 den Computer Pioneer Award der IEEE Computer Society. Sein Sohn Jonathan Kuck ist ein erfolgreicher Eisschnellläufer (Silbermedaillen Gewinner bei den Olympischen Spielen 2010 in der Teamverfolgung). (de)
