^[1] and dataflow supercomputing^[2].

Veljko Milutinović completed his B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. at the School of Electrical Engineering, University of Belgrade, Serbia. His research on GaAs microprocessor design was later published as the monograph Surviving the Design of a 200 MHz RISC Microprocessor^[3] (IEEE CS Press, 1990s), which became a best-seller. His research on Dataflow Supercomputing was later published in Springer (Guide to DataFlow Supercomputing, 2015).

Veljko Milutinović single-handedly designed Yugoslavia’s most advanced multiprocessor prototype:

• A 17-processor system that computed discrete Fourier transforms^[4], calculated arctangent projections of in-phase and quadrature components, demodulated signals in heavy noise, and performed detection and synchronization.
• Documented in IEEE Transactions on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, involving ~17 000 lines of machine code and ~17 000 wire-wrap connections.

• 200 MHz RISC microprocessor (co-architect & co-designer): World’s first at that frequency; published in IEEE Transactions on Computers, nearly a decade ahead of commercial equivalents.^[5]
• 4096-processor GaAs systolic array (co-designer): Best Paper Award at IEEE/ACM HICSS-1986.^[6]

• Developed the Vertical Migration microprocessor architecture, published in IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering (earned IEEE Fellowship).
• Originated the split temporal-spatial computing paradigm, underpinning his Ultimate DataFlow SuperComputing framework for Big Data Deep Analytics.

Partners include Boeing/PanThesis, AT&T, HP, Encore, NCR, RCA, Dow Jones, Wall Street Journal, Intel, AMD, Mitsubishi, Fujii, and EU-funded FP4–FP7 consortia. Key products and achievements:

• High-frequency data modems for deep-fading channels
• Bit-slice engines
• HeritageMining and MindMining analytics frameworksHe has consulted and lectured for NASA (JPL, LLNL, BNL), IBM (Almaden, TJ Watson), HP, Intel, Sun, Fairchild, Honeywell, and others.

Major academic initiatives include ArTreat (medical treatment recommendation), HiPeac (embedded computing), ProSense (smart sensing), and BalCon (balanced computing). He has guest-edited special issues for Proceedings of the IEEE, IEEE Transactions on Computers, IEEE Concurrency, and IEEE Computer.
