Marc Snir is an Israeli-American computer scientist. He holds a Michael Faiman and Saburo Muroga Professorship in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He currently pursues research in parallel computing. He was the principal investigator (PI) for the software of the petascale Blue Waters system and co-director of the Intel and Microsoft-funded Universal Parallel Computing Research Center (UPCRC).
From 2007 to 2008, he was director of the Illinois Informatics Institute. He was Director of the Mathematics and Computer Science Division at Argonne National Laboratory from 2011 to 2016 and head of the Computer Science Department at Illinois from 2001 to 2007. Until 2001, he was a senior manager at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, where he led the Scalable Parallel Systems research group responsible for major contributions to the IBM Scalable POWERparallel and the Blue Gene supercomputers. He was awarded the Seymour Cray Computer Engineering Award by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in 2013 for his "contributions to the research, development, theory, and standardization of high-performance parallel computing, including the IBM RS/6000 SP and Blue Gene system."[1]
Snir received a Ph.D. in mathematics from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1979, worked at NYU on the NYU Ultracomputer project from 1980–1982, and worked at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1982–1986 before joining IBM. Marc Snir was a major contributor to the design of the Message Passing Interface. He has published numerous papers and given many presentations on computational complexity, parallel algorithms, parallel architectures, interconnection networks, parallel languages and libraries and parallel programming environments.
Snir is an AAAS Fellow, ACM Fellow, and IEEE Fellow. He is on the Computing Research Association Board of Directors and the NSF CISE advisory committee.
