Robert Tomasulo

Robert Tomasulo is an American computer engineer known for his contributions to computer architecture, particularly for developing the Tomasulo algorithm. This algorithm is a dynamic scheduling technique used in the design of superscalar processors, which allows for the out-of-order execution of instructions to improve performance and utilize CPU resources more efficiently. Tomasulo's work significantly advanced the field of computer architecture, helping to overcome issues related to instruction-level parallelism and improving the efficiency of instruction execution in a pipelined processor.
