Post-baccalaureate students graduate with Latin honors, 4.0 GPAs Anonymous (not verified) Thu, 05/11/2023 - 15:27

The computer science post-baccalaureate program is proud to recognize the incredible achievements of 21 graduating students, the majority of which will receive Latin honors of magna and summa cum laude.

Additionally, four graduating students will receive their degree with a 4.0 cumulative GPA.

The graduates’ dedication to their studies, passion for learning and hard work through a rigorous curriculum have paid off, and program staff and faculty are thrilled to celebrate this momentous occasion with them. It takes a remarkable level of commitment and perseverance to excel academically, especially in an online program, and we are honored to have had the privilege to work with such an incredible group of students.

“The students in this program constantly surprise me with their effort and abilities,” said Faculty Director Dirk Grunwald. “They combine their prior degrees, whether that is in the liberal arts, science or other branches of engineering, with their new abilities in computer science. And by doing so, join a group of previous graduates who now work at companies like Google, Amazon, Ford and Lockheed Martin, as well as startups.”

To these students: We hope you all take pride in all that you have accomplished and use this as a launching pad for your future success. We are honored to have played a role in your journey, and we are excited to see what the future holds for you.

Congratulations once again to the spring 2023 graduating class of applied computer science!

Over half of the 21 spring graduates in applied computer science will leave CU Boulder with high honors, and four earned a 4.0 GPA.

A paper submitted by CS Professor Dirk Grunwald and two of his former Ph.D. students, Srilatha “Bobbie” Manne from the ECEE department and Artur Klauser from Computer Science, has won the ACM SIGARCH/IEEE-CS TCCA Influential Paper Award for 2013.

This paper, titled “Pipeline Gating: Speculation Control for Energy Reduction,” was part of the Ph.D. thesis work of Srilatha Manne, and was one of the first efforts to control the amount of speculation by automatically detecting when it was not effective or contributing to program performance and using that feedback to limit speculation. Dirk explains, “The speed of modern computers has increased both because of improved circuit technology and improved processor architecture or the way that those circuits are used. Speculation is one method that has been used to improve performance -- a speculative processor tries to predict the outcome of operations before they actually complete in order to start the execution of new operations that depend on those earlier operations; if the prediction is incorrect, the speculated operations must be canceled before they effect the program execution. When those predictions are correct, speculation can greatly improve processor performance, but it can also waste significant power when the predictions are wrong. Modern processors are largely limited by the power that they use, and current design techniques seek to limit speculation when it's not effective.“

Srilatha ("Bobbie") Manne was a Ph.D. student in the ECEE department supervised by Dirk Grunwald (CS and ECEE) and Fabio Somenzi (ECEE). Artur Klauser was a Ph.D. student in Computer Science. Both Bobbie and Artur graduated in 1999 and worked for Digital Equipment Corp., then Intel. Bobbie is currently a Principle Member of the Technical Staff at AMD and Artur is a Member of the Technical Staff at Google.
