(or, at least a weak attempt at a home page. I did succumb some time ago to the insistence that I must have a home page. However, I do not seem to be able to find time to first learn and then do what needs to be done to make it an impressive homepage.)

Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering,
Ernest Cockrell, Jr. Centennial Chair in Engineering, and
University Distinguished Teaching Professor,
The University of Texas at Austin

Actually, I do have another picture, which was taken in a museum in Cyprus in June, 1995 by Greg Egan, professor at Monash University, ...and one with a friend at HPCA-12 in Austin, February, 2006.
Also, Haydn's interpretation of me at a UT Halloween, 2003 costume party.

...and a one-page bio.

• My PhD students graduated.
• My views on the importance of English to your education (or, at least being able to write).
• My thoughts on a number of topics, expressed in an interview conducted by two students as part of their EE 302 project during the fall semester, 2000.
• A more recent interview at the University of Brasilia for undergraduate computer science and engineering students considering going to graduate school (August, 2010).
• Videos and Slides of some talks I have given.
• My views on the FIRST course in computing for all engineering students.
• The 2nd edition of the textbook Introduction to Computing Systems: From Bits and Gates to C and Beyond. that I wrote with Professor Sanjay Jeram Patel of Illinois. The book is intended as an introduction to computing for serious students of computer science, computer engineering, and electrical engineering. It is an outgrowth of EECS 100, the freshman course that Kevin Compton and I developed at the University of Michigan before I came to Texas, and was the prototype for the freshman sequence ECE 306/312 at Texas. (I am working on the 3rd edition right now.)

For graduate students thinking about doing research in computer architecture with me, you might want to read this.

For both undergraduates and graduate students who are interested, I am teaching EE460N (and its graduate equivalent, EE382N.1) Spring semester, 2013. Feel free to look over the syllabus and the course descriptor on the EE460N web page for Spring, 2013. (Note: Graduate students should enroll in EE382N-1.)

For those planning ahead, I expect to teach EE306 in Fall, 2013, EE382N in Spring, 2014 and EE460N again in Spring, 2015, assuming I am still at UT, of course.
