Eric Philip Traut (born July 24, 1971) is an American software engineer and emulation pioneer who worked at Apple Computer.
Education
Traut received a B.S. with honors in computer systems engineering from Stanford University in 1993.[1][2]
Career
Apple Computer
In April 1993, Traut joined Apple Computer as a software engineer.[1] He updated Gary Davidian's original Mac 68k emulator to allow PowerPC-based Macintosh computers to run code originally written for 68k processors more quickly after a process of just-in-time compilation.[3] His work on the project led to a patent on a form of dynamic recompilation.[4]
After Apple Computer
R - p 2007- Machine Virtualization - Eric Traut
In October 1995, Traut joined Connectix, where he became the VP of engineering.[1] He developed successful commercial emulators such as Virtual PC and Virtual Game Station. Traut became the Chief Technical Officer of Connectix in 2001.[3]
In February 2003, Connectix was acquired by Microsoft, where Traut formed the Core Virtual Machine Team. As a distinguished engineer, he oversaw the development of virtualization technologies used in Microsoft Virtual Server and Virtual PC.[3] Eric left Microsoft in September 2012 to co-found Ten Four Software with Brent Traut. Eric rejoined Microsoft in May 2014 and became a Technical Fellow leading the business AI team.[1]
