George Greer writes "While idling doing a search for Transmeta on AltaVista, I came across the title "Recent Ph.D graduates". Naturally I was curious. On the page link they list the following people now working at Transmeta and their focus. Craig Anderson, ``Improving Performance of Bus Based Multiprocessors'', Autumn 1995. Advisor: Jean-Loup Baer. Current Employment: Transmeta, Inc., Santa Clara, CA. David Keppel, ``Runtime Code Generation'', Spring 1996. Advisor: Susan Eggers. Current Employment: Transmeta, Inc., Santa Clara, CA. Jack Lo, ``Exploiting Thread-Level Parallelism on Simultaneous Multithreaded Processors: Hardware and Software Techniques for Effectively Managing Shared Resources'', Spring 1998. Advisors: Susan Eggers and Hank Levy. Current Employment: Transmeta Corporation, Santa Clara, CA. As if there's any doubt left they're making a (really cool) processor.
