Briggs has had a leadership role in developing multiple generations of innovative multiprocessor server and chipset designs, including all front-side-bus based Xeon dual and multiprocessor server chipsets and platform architectures. He conceptualized the first Intel point-to-point coherent scalability port for 2P . 16P scalable architecture family of 870 server chipsets for Itanium and Xeon servers and led the development of the chipset.
Prior to joining Intel in 1997, Briggs held various positions at Sun Microsystems, including serving as the co-architect of Sun.s original SPARC processor. Briggs was also a co-founder and CTO of Axil Computers, where he led the development of chipsets, boards and systems for more than 30 servers, storage and workstation products. He also served as a tenured associate professor at Rice University and as a faculty member at Purdue University, both in electrical and computer engineering.
Briggs has published numerous technical papers on processor and multiprocessor architectures, memory ordering, cache coherence and system performance. He is the co-author of the McGraw-Hill published textbook, .Computer Architecture and Parallel Processing.. Briggs received an Intel Achievement Award for the successful definition and execution of Intel.s first quad-core products.
Briggs received his bachelor.s degree in electrical engineering from Ahmadu Bello University, Nigeria. He received his master.s degree in electrical engineering from Stanford University, and his doctorate in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign in 1977.
