VLSI Research Group: People

VLSI Research Group People

In 1990, Sun Microsystems formed Sun Labs by acquiring the consulting firm of Sutherland, Sproull, and Associates. That year, Ivan Sutherland and Bob Sproull founded the Asynchronous Circuits Research Group in Sun Labs to continue their work in understanding and applying asynchronous circuits to system design.

Today, the group is called the VLSI Research Group. Bob Sproull, a Sun Fellow and VP, is the Director of Sun Labs. Ivan Sutherland, a Sun Fellow and VP, is the technical leader of the VLSI Research Group, which, under the management of Jeff Rulifson, consists of twenty hardware and software researchers.
