  Ken Batcher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ken Batcher is a professor of Computer Science at Kent State University.
In 1990, Batcher was awarded the ACM/IEEE Eckert-Mauchly Award for his pioneering work on parallel computers.
Batcher is best known for his half-serious, half-humorous definition that "A supercomputer is a device for turning compute-bound problems into I/O-bound problems."

 KSU Department of Computer Science: Research Profile - Dr Ken Batcher
Batcher received a B.S.E.E. degree from Iowa State University in 1957 and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Illinois in 1962 and 1964, respectively.
He also discovered a method of scrambling data in a random access memory to allow accesses along multiple dimensions; these memories were used in the STARAN and the MPP.
In 1990, Dr. Batcher was awarded the Eckert-Mauchly Award from the ACM and the IEEE Computer Society "for the pioneering implementation of parallel computers and for contributions to interconnection network theory." He is a Fellow in the ACM and a member of SIGARCH.

It is no secret that parallel programming languages and software development tools have not kept pace with the phenomenal growth in performance and the decline in cost of hardware.
As Ken Batcher put it: "Queuing theory is important." Virtually all SIMD developments to date have been based on custom chips, with their attendant design and testing costs borne by a relatively small user base (compared to main line microprocessors).
Ken Batcher cited the work of Hank Dietz at Purdue, suggesting that MIMD code can be automatically converted to SIMD with reasonable efficiency.

Supercomputers consume and produce massive amounts of data in a very short period of time.
According to Ken Batcher, "A supercomputer is a device for turning compute-bound problems into I/O-bound problems." Much work on external storage bandwidth is needed to ensure that this information can be transferred quickly and stored/retrieved correctly.
