Federico Silla received the MS and PhD degrees from Technical University of Valencia (UPV), Spain. He is currently an associate professor at the Department of Computer Engineering (DISCA) at that university.
His research is performed within the Parallel Architectures Group of Technical University of Valencia, although he worked for two years at Intel Corporation, developing on-chip networks.
His research addresses high performance on-chip and off-chip interconnection networks as well as distributed memory systems and remote GPU virtualization mechanisms. The different papers he has published so far provide an H-index impact factor equal to 26 according to Google Scholar. Additionally, he is leading and coordinating the development and advancement of the rCUDA remote GPU virtualization middleware since it began in 2008. The rCUDA technology, which enables remote virtualized access to CUDA GPUs, is exclusively and entirely developed by Technical University of Valencia. Moreover, he is also leading and coordinating the development of other virtualization technologies. He was also co-founder of the extinct now “Remote Libraries” company, which provided technical support for the rCUDA technology.
With respect to his teaching activities, he teaches Computer Networks as well as High Performance Interconnects courses at the Computer Engineering School of the Technical University of Valencia.
