Talk Title: "BIG DATA! 24 hour near real time processing and computation for the JPL Airborne Snow Observatory"
Series: Artificial Intelligence Seminar
Abstract: JPL's Airborne Snow Observatory is an integrated imaging spectrometer and scanning LIDAR for measuring mountain snow albedo, snow depth/snow water equivalent, and ice height (once exposed), led by PI Dr. Tom Painter. The team recently wrapped our "Snow On" campaign where over a course of 3 months, we flew the Tuolumne River Basin, Sierra Nevada, California above the O'Shaughnessy Dam of the Hetch Hetchy reservoir; focusing initial on the Tuolumne, and then moving to weekly flights over the Uncompahgre Basin, Colorado.
To meet the needs of its customers including Water Resource managers who are keenly interested in Snow melt, the ASO team had to develop and end to end 24 hour latency capability for processing spectrometer and LIDAR data from Level 0 to Level 4 ("ish") products. Fondly referring to these processing campaigns as "rodeos" the team rapidly constructed an open source data processing system at minimal cost and risk that not only met our processing demands, but taught the entire team many lessons about remote sensing of snow and dust properties, algorithm integration, the relationship between computer scientists, and snow hydrologist; flight and engineering teams, geographers, and most importantly lessons about camaraderie that will engender highly innovative and rapid data systems development, and quality science products for years to come.
Chris Mattmann is the Compute Lead for the ASO project and he will humbly tell the story of the Compute processing capability on behalf of the larger team, highlighting contributions of its key members along the way.

Integrated Systems Seminar Series - Spring 2014
Fri, Jan 24, 2014 @ 03:30 PM - 05:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Xicheng Jiang, Broadcom
Talk Title: Evolution of Mixed-Signal Analog for System-on-Chip Products
Abstract: The demand for connectivity products keeps expanding at a faster and faster pace. By 2015 the number of global network connections will exceed two times the world population. Large system chips with advanced mixed signal analog blocks are driving the cost reductions which enable this world-wide technology explosion. This talk provides an overview of how mixed signal analog circuits have evolved in our SoCs over the past 15 years. It discusses the analog integration challenges, and offers solutions that enable SOC evolution with successful integration and cost reduction of all types of mixed-signal analog blocks. Practical design examples are used throughout the presentation.
Biography: Xicheng Jiang received the B.S. degree from University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, P. R. China, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from University of California, Los Angeles, CA.
Since 1997, he has been with Analog and RF microelectronics group at Broadcom, where he is currently a Broadcom Distinguished Engineer and the senior manager, IC design engineering. His research interest includes data converters, high-speed serial transceivers, cellular baseband, Hi-Fi audio drivers and microphone interfaces.
Dr. Jiang is a Fellow of IEEE. He is the Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Circuit and System II, and currently serves on the Technical Program Committee of ISSCC and CICC. He is a named inventor on more than 30 issued and pending U.S. patents and has authored or coauthored over 30 conference and journal papers. He is the co-recipient of the 2009 CICC Best Paper Award.
