Carl Ebeling

William Henry Carl Ebeling (born January 9, 1950) is an American computer scientist and professor. His recent interests include coarse-grained reconfigurable architectures of integrated circuits.

Education and career He earned his B.S. Degree in physics from Wheaton College in 1971. Ebeling wrote All The Right Moves – A VLSI Architecture for Chess, a book published through The MIT Press, in 1987. A review by Don Beal of London University called it "well written and easy to read," and accessible to a wide audience despite the technical subject.

Among his projects are Gemini and Gemini2, open source programs for graph isomorphism used for netlist comparison in layout versus schematic IC verification.

Awards Ebeling's Ph.D. thesis All the Right Moves: A VLSI Architecture for Chess earned him the 1986 Doctoral Dissertation Award from the Association for Computing Machinery.
