 | 【講演概要】Since Turing and Von Neumann, computer designers have made a series of choice that have, for better or worse, lead us down a particular way to
compute. Leveraging integrated circuit technology, the industry was able to double computer performance every 18 months. In 2005, we hit a power limit for cooling a microprocessor that stopped this historic performance scaling. This in turn led to the present Multicore Era where parallel programming is now needed to continue scaling performance. Even this era is coming to an end as Moore's law is ending. In reaction to this fundamental change in the industry, I have co-chaired (with Elie Track) an IEEE a series of invitation-only, expert summits to re-examine how to build computers: IEEE Rebooting Computing Initiative. In this talk, I will present the results of those summits and provide some hope for restarting the historic scaling of computer performance. 【略歴】Thomas M. Conte has been a volunteer for the Computer Society for many years. He has chaired major symposia in his technical area, served as a Technical Committee chair, and served on numerous editorial boards, for example, Computer and Micro magazines, Transactions on Computers, and Computer Architecture Letters. Tom served as the Computer Society's awards committee chair from 2009-2011, and as an elected member of the Board of Governors from 2010-2011. In 2011, he was elected to the First Vice President position, where he currently shepherds Computer Society Publications. In awards and publications, his focus has been on what is best for the members of the Society. Tom is Professor of Computer Science and of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology, where he takes pride in both his research and his teaching. If given the choice between the intrigue of departmental politics and teaching computing to freshmen, he'll choose the latter every time. His research focuses on computer architecture, compiler optimization, and fast simulation techniques. A Fellow of the IEEE, he received a PhD in electrical engineering from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, in 1992. |
