Kunle Olukotun,a professor of electrical engineering and computer science at Stanford and director of the Stanford Pervasive Parallelism Lab, who also has a significant record in terms of innovation and the development of his innovation in collaboration with industry.He co-founded Afara Web Systems, which was later acquired by Sun Microsystems because Afara,Yoruba for "bridge",had problems gaining venture capital following negative financial sector developments in the US after 9/11.
Sun's acquisition of Afara is described as central to its efforts to reposition itself in its core market of microprocessor development.A core attraction for Sun was the Niagara microprocessor and system design,the history of which describes it as emerging from Olukotun's Hydra research project which later led him to seek venture capital funding to develop it.Olukotun's role in Niagara is also highlighted in this paper on innovation from Sun Microcystems.
Olukotun's academic papers are evident on his university page and through his 100 papers at the Scientific Commons. spanning 1993 to 2010.
You may read excerpts on Amazon from Olukotun's co-authored Multicore Processes and Systems. You can also read online Kunle Olukotun and Lance Hammond's paper "The Future of Microprocessors" .
The vision of the Stanford Pervasive Parallelism Lab is described at that link by Olukotun and his fellow researchers and by this information industry report which describes industry and scientists collaborating at the lab to create breakthroughs in the field while Olukotun gives this overview of pervasive parallelism at a computing conference.

Dear Prof.Olukotun,
Good morning.
I found your biographical profile which was in an email I got from PARC announcing your forthcoming lecture most inspiring. I am student of comparative literature who has an interest in the sciences.I am intrigued by the presence of the name Ogun in your email [kunle@ogun.stanford.edu] and your Stanford URL[http://ogun.stanford.edu/~kunle/] .May I ask if the use of that name in those contexts has any relationship to the Yoruba deity?
Possibly a symbolic relationship?Thanks.

As you know Ogun is the Yoruba god of iron and steel, invoked by all whose occupations rely on iron. Computer servers are
sometimes called "big iron", so my server's name is "Ogun"

The Yoruba Studies Review is a refereed biannual journal dedicated to the study of the experience of the Yoruba peoples and their descendants globally. The journal covers all aspects of the Yoruba transnational, national, and regional presence, both in their West Africa's homeland and in diasporic spaces, past and present. The journal embraces all disciplines in the humanities, social sciences, and the basic /applied sciences in as much as the focus is on the Yoruba affairs and the intersections with other communities and practices worldwide. The journal will foster and encourage interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary approaches dealing with a wide range of theoretical and applied topics including, but not limited to: cultural production, identities, religion, arts and aesthetics, history, language, knowledge system, philosophy, gender, media, popular culture, education and pedagogy, politics, business, economic issues, social policy, migration, geography and landscape, environment, health, technology, and sustainability.
