Mohammad Abdallah, Founder, President & CTO, Soft Machines

Mohammad Abdallah is Founder, President and CTO of Soft Machines, a privately-held Silicon Valley start-up he co-founded in 2006 with the mission to redefine the CPU world based on a revolutionary approach to computing architectures. With over 19 years of executive, technical, and architecture experience, Abdallah is the primary driver, chief scientist and architect behind a new microprocessor architecture that revives IPC scaling, which is expected to change the microprocessor architectural paradigm for the next 10-15 years. Under Abdallah's technical leadership, Soft Machines has filed 75 U.S. patent applications. Abdallah's career began in 1995 at Intel Corporation where he worked on the Pentium Pro microprocessor family. He was instrumental in defining and developing Intel's SSE multimedia technology instruction set, and was a key architect for the Pentium III, one of Intel's most successful microprocessor products. From 1998 to 2004, Abdallah also participated in developing the micro-architecture of various microprocessor projects belonging to the Pentium 4 and Core Architecture processor families. Prior to leaving Intel at the end of 2005, Abdallah served as a senior architect with Intel's microprocessor architecture group where he drove architecture and micro-architecture features on Intel's 45nm flagship CPU.

Abdallah holds a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the University of Jordan and a master's degree in computer engineering from Louisiana State University. At LSU, Abdallah worked on residue number systems (RNS) and established new theories that generalized Fermat numbers and their use in RNS implementations. He has authored many IEEE publications and personally holds close to 100 patents and pending patents.
