Norman Paul Jouppi is an American electrical engineer and computer scientist.
He pioneered developments in the field of memory hierarchies (victim buffers, prefetching stream buffers multi-level exclusive caching),[2] heterogeneous architectures (single ISA heterogeneous architectures) and the introduction of the CACTI simulator for memory design (modeling of cache time, area and power).
In 2015, he received the Eckert–Mauchly Award for contributions to the design and analysis of high performance processors and computer storage systems.
Also in 2014, he was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering for contributions to the design of computer memory hierarchies.
He is a member of the editorial boards of Communications of the ACM and IEEE Computer Architecture Letters.
