Biographical Sketch

Rainer Trummer received his degree from the University of Salzburg, in addition to a master craftsman's and a foreman's diploma from his professional career. His primary areas of scientific expertise are design and implementation of arithmetic hardware devices like division units. His paper A High-Performance Data-Dependent Hardware Integer Divider proposes a novel divider concept and has been presented at the Parallel Numerics '05 conference. He will take the PhD position devoted to design and implementation of FPGA-supported high-performance control and operating systems in order to receive his PhD.
