Krisztián Flautner is currently a Principal Research Engineer at ARM, after having completed a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan. His thesis explored the relevance of multithreading for interactive desktop workloads and described the implementation of an automatic power- management algorithm for processors supporting dynamic voltage scaling. Dr. Flautner's research interests are focused on simple ideas that enable high-performance low-power computers to support advanced software environments. In the research group at ARM Limited, he is currently working on the next generation ARM architecture.
