It is our great pleasure to dedicate this Festschrift volume to the scholarship, leadership, and teaching of Professor Vivek Sarkar, the John P. Imlay, Jr. Dean of the College of Computing at Georgia Tech and a distinguished professor in the School of Computer Science. The title of this Festschrift, Principles and Practices of Building Parallel Software, highlights Vivek’s transformative contributions to advancing parallel computing. His work spans programming languages, compilers, runtime systems, debugging tools, and verification of programs, all designed to address the challenges of high-performance and exascale computing. Through pioneering innovations, technical expertise, and dedicated mentorship, Vivek’s career has profoundly shaped both industry practices and academic research, establishing him as a role model for generations of computer scientists. Vivek’s journey began with his foundational Ph.D. work at Stanford University under the mentorship of Prof. John Hennessy, a luminary in computer science. In the 1980s, when parallel programming was still in its infancy, Vivek made significant advances in the scheduling of parallel programs, addressing key challenges in optimizing dependencies and laying the foundation for modern compiler optimizations that unlock parallelism at scale. After completing his Ph.D., Vivek joined IBM Research, where, under the mentorship of Fran Allen, he contributed to the PTRAN Project by developing the PART partitioner for automatic parallelization, analyzing cost-benefit tradeoffs while accounting for overhead and synchronization costs. At IBM Santa Teresa Labs, he led the design and implementation of the ASTI optimizer for IBM’s XL compiler, pioneering advanced program transformations such as loop distribution, tiling, and scalar replacement, seamlessly integrating cutting-edge compiler techniques into product. Among Vivek’s most influential contributions is the design of the X10 programming language, an object-oriented approach to improve the productivity of high-performance computing. His seminal paper, X10: an Object-Oriented Approach to Non-Uniform Cluster Computing [2], which introduced innovative programming abstractions for parallel and distributed systems, won the Most Influential Paper Award for OOPSLA 2005 and continues to shape research in scalable parallel programming. Vivek also led the development of the Jikes Research Virtual Machine (RVM) [1, 3], an open-source JVM that enabled experimentation with advanced virtual machine technologies and influenced the evolution of managed runtime systems. It has been used by over 100 universities worldwide, serving as the foundation for more than 200 research publications, 40 doctoral dissertations, and 20 universitylevel courses. The project was honored with the prestigious SIGPLAN System Software Award in 2012.
