An Introduction to the PowerPro(TM) Tool
Wed, Jun 06, 2007 @ 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Aiguo Xie, Calypto Design Systems, Santa Clara, CAAbstract: PowerPro is our latest CAD product. It helps build better system and RTL designs by lowering their power consumption. In this talk, we will review its key technology, including reliable prototyping, sequential transformation, and verification. We will also discuss its future challenges.Brief Bio: Aiguo is a former EE-Systems Ph.D. student of Prof. Peter A. Beerel. He is an architect of Calypto Design Systems (2003-), responsible for the technology of the PowerPro product in all area. He was a chip architecture designer of Fulcrum Microsystems (2001-2003), and a synthesis tool developer of Cadence Design Systems (1999-2001).Hosted by Prof. Peter Beerel

Charting the Dynamics of Neurocognitive Networks

Steven L. Bressler, Ph.D.
Professor, Center for Complex Systems & Brain Sciences, Florida Atlantic UniversityAbstract:
There has long been a dichotomy in understanding higher-order functions of the cerebral cortex. The localizationist tradition has sought to identify such functions with specific cortical areas, whereas the globalist tradition has viewed all higher-order functions as emerging from the cerebral cortex as a whole. A reconciliation of these opposing viewpoints has come with the growing realization that neurocognitive networks are of central importance to cortical function. Neurocognitive networks are composed of distributed neuronal assemblies in the cortex and sub cortical structures that dynamically engage in cooperative interactions to accomplish specific cognitive operations. A major challenge for cognitive neuroscience is to develop analytic tools for the precise characterization of the dynamics of neurocognitive networks. I will describe an approach to this characterization based on the construction of network graphs derived from autoregressive time series analysis of cortical population activity. I will also present experimental evidence from non-human primates and humans that this approach provides useful insights into the neural basis of cognitive function.Location: Olin Hall of Engineering (OHE) - 100C (Studio C)
