Mukherjee was the 2009 recipient of the Maurice Wilkes award,[2] an Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) award for pioneering contributions to computer and digital systems architecture. He received the 2022 ACM SIGMICRO MICRO Test of Time Award,[3] which recognizes the most influential papers published in prior sessions of the International Symposium on Microarchitecture, each of whom have had significant impact in the field. He is also a Fellow of ACM[4] and a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).[5]

Mukherjee received his Ph.D degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison under the supervision of Prof. Mark D. Hill.[6] His first job immediately after graduation was with the Alpha Architecture group in Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), where he worked for ten days before Compaq acquired DEC.[7] Mukherjee moved to Intel when the Alpha Architecture group was acquired by Intel Corporation in 2001.[8]

In Intel, in conjunction with Joel Emer, Steven Reinhardt, and others, Mukherjee published one of his well-known papers on architectural vulnerability,[9] which shows how to reason about and design for soft errors in semiconductor chips from cosmic radiation and alpha particles. Subsequently, Mukherjee’s work on soft errors led to Mukherjee’s book on the same topic titled “Architecture Design for Soft Errors."[10]

Mukherjee has worked on most aspects of computer chip design, including as an Alpha architect for on-chip networks and coherence protocols,[11] lead architect for ARM-based processor cores used in OCTEON 9x family of processors, reliability architect, and performance architect.[12] Mukherjee has over 50 publications and 100 patents in the field of computer architecture.[13]
