Bill Lynch, Huawei
Dr. William Lynch is vice-president of engineering at Huawei Technologies is well-known computer and network processor architect. Dr. Lynch received Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from Stanford University in 1992, then joined Sun Microsystems, where he was the architect of the memory system for the UltraSPARC III microprocessor. He was credited with numerous inventions at Sun, including the “sum-addressed memory cache”, which revolutionized cache indexing and the patent has now been cross-licensed by all major microprocessor vendors.
In 1999, Dr. Lynch co-founded Procket Networks, where he was the Chief Technology Officer (CTO). At Procket, Dr. Lynch and his team created the world’s fastest network processor, largest shared memory router, and most efficient routing protocol stack. Procket raised over $250 million in venture backed capital and was valued at $2 Billion among private investors. Cisco Systems acquired Procket in 2004, and the Procket team became key components of three separate business units at Cisco.
Dr. Lynch joined Huawei in 2008, where he is the vice-president of engineering and chief architect of high performance silicon and systems in North America. He is currently leading a large R&D team in Huawei, North America and is regarded as one of the most influential technical leaders in Huawei. His responsibilities include growing the global R&D team, architecting the next-generation network processor systems, and helping launch projects in wireless digital signal processors and scalable shared memory multiprocessor systems.
