EE 598 Computer Engineering Seminar
Thu, Oct 13, 2016 @ 04:00 AM - 05:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Josep Torrellas, Professor, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
Talk Title: Toward Extreme-Scale Manycore Architectures
Abstract: As transistor sizes continue to scale, we are about to witness stunning levels of chip integration, with 1,000 (simple) core on a single die, and increasing levels of die stacking. Transistors may not be much faster, but there will be many more of them. In these architectures, energy and power will be the main constraint, efficient communication and synchronization a major challenge, and programmability an unknown.
In this context, this talk presents some of the technologies that we will need to deploy to exploit these architectures. Cores need to flexibly operate at a range of voltages, and techniques for efficient energy use such as power gating and voltage speculation need to be widespread. To enable data sharing, we need to rethink synchronization and fence hardware for scalability. Hardware extensions to ease programming will provide a competitive edge. A combination of all of these techniques-and additional disruptive technologies-are needed.
Biography: Josep Torrellas is the Saburo Muroga Professor of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He leads the Center for Programmable Extreme-Scale Computing, a center focused on architectures for extreme energy and power efficiency. He has been the director of the Intel-Illinois Parallelism Center (I2PC), a center created by Intel to advance parallel computing. He has made contributions to parallel computer architecture in the areas of shared memory multiprocessor organizations, cache hierarchies and coherence protocols, thread-level speculation, and hardware and software reliability. He is a Fellow of IEEE and ACM. He received the 2015 IEEE CS Technical Achievement Award.

Computer Engineering Seminar
Thu, Oct 13, 2016 @ 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Dr. Simon Su, US Army Research Laboratory
Talk Title: Scientific Visualization Research at ARL
Abstract: A typical scientific visualization process involves the use of a favorite visualization toolkit to read the simulation data stored on a file system. Once the data is loaded, computational scientists will use the data analysis capabilities provided by the visualization toolkit to analyze the data, in an attempt to understand the output of a simulation. The scientists will then use the visualization toolkit to generate images and movies from the data to further understanding of the data. In most cases, a high performance computing center will have visualization staff members that can help the scientists to create a more elaborate movies for presentations. In an attempt to provide the computational scientists with alternative visualization technologies, the visualization team at ARL has extended ParaView to support 3D immersive and interactive visualization running on the zSpace virtual reality display. Furthermore, for large scale simulation datasets, we have also extended ParaView to include the capability for high-resolution interactive visualization.
Biography: Simon Su is a Computer Scientist at the US Army Research Lab. He received his PhD from the Department of Computer Science, at the University of Houston in 2001. He has 14 years of experience in virtual reality and scientific visualization research and development. He is currently working on using large scale high-resolution and virtual reality technologies to support data visualization to enable scientific discovery and exploration of large scale scientific data. His research interests include interactive information visualization to support data analysis, and applying 3D immersive and interactive technologies to enable research in other interdisciplinary field including education, and journalism.
