Professional Activities
Dr. Grothoff has a history of developing useful tools and libraries for a broad audience. The software artifacts produced by his research have inspired other researchers as well as non-academic software developers and have frequently been directly incorporated into other
projects. He was part of the core development team for OVM, a real-time Java Virtual Machine which is now used by Boeing to fly aircraft. He also helped develop the first compiler and runtime system for X10, IBM's new language for high-performance computing.
His Runabout is a widely used alternative for the visitor pattern that has spawned a number of variations designed by other researchers. His research in privacy enhancing technologies produced GNUnet, GNU's peer-to-peer framework. He is also the maintainer of GNU libextractor, a GNU project for metadata extraction. Software developed during his research has always been published under free software licenses (usually GNU's GPL) and published on the Internet.
