ACISC 2010: Call for Participation 5th Annual Austin Conference on Integrated Systems & Circuits 2010 October 29, 2010 The Commons Center J.J. Pickle Center, Austin, Texas Early registration is extended until October 28.
Integrated Systems For A Smarter Planet Abstract: In this talk, Dr. Hofstee will share a vision for an instrumented, interconnected, and intelligent planet and link several of the smarter planet focus areas such as healthcare, transportation, energy, water management etc. to perhaps surprising uses of semiconductor technology. The intent of the talk is to encourage out-of-the-box thinking on what can be achieved when novel approaches to sensing and information gathering are combined with large scale IT systems. Biography: H. Peter Hofstee currently works at the IBM Austin Research Laboratory on workload-optimized and hybrid systems. Peter has degrees in theoretical physics (MS, Rijks Universiteit Groningen, Netherlands) and computer science (PhD, California Inst. of Technology). At IBM Peter has worked on microprocessors, including the first CMOS processor to demonstrate GHz operation (1997), and he was the chief architect of the synergistic processor elements in the Cell Broadband Engine, known from its use in the Sony Playstation 3 and the Roadrunner supercomputer that first broke the 1 Petaflop Linpack benchmark. His interests include VLSI, multicore and heterogeneous microprocessor architecture, security, system design and programming. Peter has over 100 patents issued or pending. |
