Biography
Dr. Michael Manzke is a member of the Interaction, Simulation & Graphics Lab (ISG) at Trinity College Dublin. He joined TCD in 1998 as a fulltime researcher and postgraduate student after ten years in industry. In 1999 he was appointed as Lecturer in the Department of Computer Science. Michael supervises a group of PhD students that mainly work on high performance hybrid graphics architectures and interconnect technologies for Reconfigurable Hardware. These special purpose architectures meet real-time constrains, interface with general-purpose computers and accept distributed user IO. Michael's interest in performance analysis led to the investigation of algorithms that estimation in real-time the global compute state of computer subsystems and closely coupled compute-clusters. This work was the basis of his PhD that he passed in July 2006. Furthermore Michael organised the first and second SCI summer school in TCD and served on the Steering and Program Committee for the fourth International SCI-Europe Conference 2001. He is a member of the organising committee for Eurographics 2005 and served as referee for the IEE Journal Computers & Digital Techniques and the Journal of Systems and Software.
