Grant Grundler

Grant Grundler was born in Toronto, Canada and grew up near Silicon Valley. He graduated from Cal State, Hayward with a BS in Computer Science. He lived and worked in Germany for three years as a PC technician/support, Ski Tour employee, Windsurf Instructor, and firmware designer/developer for a custom TokenBus Networking card.

Back in "the States", he worked for three years at Olivetti on SVR4 ports to i860, MIPS R4000 (M700-10), and the first Alpha workstation. Since 1993, Grant has worked at HP on HPUX SCSI drivers and rearchitected HPUX PCI subsystem to support PCI hot swap. In 1999, he got involved in linux developement when parisc-linux port was poking at PCI devices and has since written nearly all of arch specific PCI, IO IRQ, and IOMMU support.

His first exposure to a logical analyzer (Rhode & Schwarz) was in Germany while working on the TokenBus card. However, most of his experience is with HP 16500 series analyzers for SCSI and PCI busses. SCSI analzyers are the fundemental tool for debugging multi-initiator SCSI clusters. PCI bus analyzer was used for debugging new device drivers and new PCI host bus adapter interface chips.
