Biography

Paolo is a Distinguished Technologist in the Exascale Computing Lab. He has been with HP Labs since 1994.

From 2004 to 2010, Paolo led a research group in Barcelona, Spain. The focus of the group was on system-level simulation and modeling of compute fabrics for next-generation computing systems. The COTSon simulator was released as open source This is a Non-HP site in January 2010.

From 1995 to 2003 he was the technical lead of the "Custom-Fit Processors" Project at HP Labs Cambridge (MA). In that role, he was the principal architect of the instruction set architecture of the Lx/ST200 This is a Non-HP site family of VLIW embedded processor cores (developed as a partnership between HP Labs and STMicroelectronics).

Paolo holds a Ph.D (Dottorato) in EECS (1993) and an M.S. (Laurea) in Electrical Engineering (1989) from the University of Genoa This is a Non-HP site (Italy).
