Larry McMurchie, Director, NW Laboratory for Integrated Systems, has a BA in Chemistry from Western Washington University (1971) and a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Washington. He worked in the area of Quantum Chemistry during his graduate studies. His primary focus was the numberical evaluation of a class of integrals over Gaussian functions. He later applied this work to the construction of large sparse Hamiltonian matrices. He is a coauthor of a comprehensive package of computer programs (MELD) used in ab initio calculations on small molecules.
Since joining the staff of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Larry has supervised the work of the technical staff of the Laboratory for Integrated Systems. He was a coauthor or WireC, a schematic capture system that allows designers to mix C code with schematic symbols to creat a concise, parameterizable representation of a design. Larry was also involved in the development and commercialization of the MacTester, an integrated software/hardware environment for the functional testing of chips, boards and subsystems. Recently he has worked in the area of CAD for FPGAs and has developed a general purpose performance-driven router for FPGAs.
