Eric Fluhr joined IBM in 1996 after graduating with BSCS and MSEE degrees from the Georgia Institute of Technology.   Eric began his career in circuit design and verification on the POWER3 and POWER4 series.  He switched to microarchitecture and logic design for POWER5, with a focus on data prefetch.   For POWER6®, Eric was the Load/Store-Unit circuit lead and, later, chip characterization lead.   As the POWER6+™processor head engineer he was responsible for all chip design changes and hardware characterization for frequency and yield, as well as the technical interface to technology development, system product bring-up, and manufacturing teams.  He was recently the next-generation POWER®core circuit lead, also responsible for implementing statistical timing for IBM’s 32nm and 22nm server processors.  Eric is currently a chip circuit lead for IBM’s POWER®design team.
