David Bacon is an American computer programmer.
Career
Bacon began working as a programmer at age 16 and worked for a startup during his senior year of high school. At Columbia College, Columbia University, he worked first with David E. Shaw on the NON-VON supercomputer,[1] and then on network algorithms and simulation with Yechiam Yemini, creating the NEST Network Simulator,[2] which served as the basis for a number of other network simulators including Cornell's REAL[3] and thence LBL's ns simulator.
IBM Research
Bacon spent a large portion of his career at IBM's Thomas J. Watson Research Center, starting as a programmer in 1985 working on the Hermes distributed programming language,[4] and eventually becoming a Principal Research Staff Member.
He took a sabbatical in 2009 as a visiting professor of computer science at Harvard.[5]
Much of his work at IBM focused on garbage collection. In 2009 he was inducted as an ACM Fellow "for contributions to real-time systems and to object-oriented language design and implementation".[6]
His work on the Metronome[7] hard real-time tracing garbage collector became the basis for the IBM WebSphere Real Time Java virtual machine,[8] which was used in the software for the Navy's DDG 1000 Destroyer.[9] The original research was subsequently selected for the 2013 Most Influential Paper Award of the Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages.[10]
His work on garbage collecting cyclic structures[11] in reference counted systems has been used in a number of scripting languages, including PHP.[12]
In 2013 he published the first garbage collector implemented completely in hardware,Шаблон:Clarify[13] which was selected as an ACM Research Highlight.[14][15]
In addition to garbage collection, his work has focused on the implementation of concurrent and object-oriented languages. His thesis work on Rapid Type Analysis (RTA)[16] [17] has been used in many compilers and analysis frameworks to construct call graphs for object-oriented languages, including Soot[18] and Go.[19] In 2004, his work on high-performance locking for Java[20] appeared on the list of the 50 most influential PLDI papers of all time.[21]
In 2014 he joined Google, where he is now a Principal Engineer, working on the Spanner distributed database system. He is responsible for Spanner's Database engine.
