Since September 2009, Austin has served as a Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan.[10] He also worked in the administration of the Center for Applications Driving Architectures (ADA) from January 2019 until the end of 2022 , under the title "Center Evangelist".[11] Since June 2018, Austin has served as the director of the Ethiopia-Michigan Collaborative Consortium (EMC²).[12] He is also a co-creator and co-director of African Undergraduate Research Adventure (AURA) program,[13] which offers undergraduate students from African countries an opportunity to get hands-on experience with research at the University of Michigan. From January 2012 to December 2017, he served as Director of the Center for Future Architectures Research (C-FAR),[14] a multi-university center.
Industry
Austin worked as an Associate Engineer at Xerox Corporation from January 1988 to April 1990.[citation needed] He was a Senior Computer Architect at Intel Corporation from April 1996 to May 1999.[citation needed]
Austin is the cofounder and CEO of Agita Labs since November 2018.[15] Agita Labs is a firm offering security solutions that implement many of the ideas explored in Austin's research to companies in industry seeking a zero-trust data sharing model.
Contributions to computer architecture
Austin's research is primarily in the area of computer architecture. His research interests include system design, hardware and software verification, and performance analysis tools and techniques.[10]
Among his most notable works are the development of the SimpleScalar Tool Set,[16] a widely used collection of computer architecture performance analysis tools, and the design of the DIVA and RAZOR architectures. DIVA (Dynamic Instruction Verification Architecture) is a dynamic verification approach that aims to significantly reduce the burden of verification for microprocessors by incorporating functional checking circuitry.[17] RAZOR is another architecture that focuses on achieving reliable and low-power operation.[18] Austin has also contributed to benchmark suites for embedded systems, such as MiBench,[19] and research into secure processors like Morpheus.[20] In recognition of his innovative contributions in computer architecture including the SimpleScalar Toolkit and the DIVA and Razor architectures, he has received many awards including the ACM Maurice Wilkes Award in 2007 and B. Ramakrishna Rau Award in 2024.[citation needed]
