Summary Page Below is a list of some parameters supporting the official full nomination of Per Stenstrom that is, has been or will be submitted separately. To allow the nomination committee a fair judgement of a candidate for Academia Europaea membership, a recent CV and publication list should be sent along with the nomination forms. The lists of criteria below are only meant to be a short summary of some of the points at issue. The main arguments must be in the nomination forms; this is just a summary of some indication of the qualification and has to be used with some flexibility in mind. a. C must have the rank of full professor or equivalent. (Where/ since when, or point to full CV): Per Stenstrom is a full professor of Computer Engineering of Chalmers University of Technology since 1995. b. C must have a publication record of at least 80 papers in refereed journals or high- quality conferences.

He also started a new journal – Transactions on High-Performance Embedded Architectures and Compilers (2006 - ). The Scalable Computer Architecture Project (SARC) is an FP6 FET project that aims at defining an architecture model that can scale with technology to continue offering a performance that continues to grow. Per Stenstrom is the P.I for the memory system architecture (2006 – 2010). The Transactional Memory STREP project (FP7 VELOX) aims at demonstrating a complete system that builds upon transactional memory to offer a boost in performance for parallel applications. Per Stenstrom has been instrumental in the hardware implementations of the effort (2008 – 2011). The CHAMPP project funded by the Swedish Research Council from 2010-2014 with 3MSEK (300000 EURO ) per year that aims at exploring innovative architectural approaches for heterogeneous mult-icore systems and involves four faculty members and 4 PhD students for the duration of the four-year project. g. co-editor of one or more journals. (List them): Per Stenstrom is an editor for the following journals: Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing, IEEE Computer Architecture Letters, and IEEE Transaction on Parallel and Distributed Systems.
