Charles L. Seitz

Chuck Seitz, President & CEO of Myricom, Inc., earned BS, MS, and PhD degrees from MIT, and during the 16 years prior to founding Myricom in 1994 was a Professor of Computer Science at the California Institute of Technology.

Chuck's Caltech research group, under DARPA sponsorship, developed the Cosmic Cube, the first practical multicomputer, and numerous innovations in multicomputer message-passing networks and programming. Myricom networking products are based in part on the packet-communication, cut-through-switching, and software technologies that Chuck's research group developed for advanced multicomputers.

Chuck was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1992 "for pioneering contributions to the design of asynchronous and concurrent computing systems."

A longer biography from 1997, shortly after Myricom was founded, appears as a "Parallel Profile" from the newsletter of the Center for Research in Parallel Computation.
