False Assumption for Resource Dimensioning in Networking*
Thu, Dec 01, 2005 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Victor O.K. Li, University of Hong KongAbstract: Due to a false assumption that the number of customers in a stable queue can be unbounded, some well-known results in networking are incorrect. Even Erlang's B formula implies one version of the false assumption, i.e., at a switch with any finite number of links, it is always possible for an arriving call to find all of the links simultaneously busy. So Erlang's B formula is also incorrect. This paper presents a detailed elucidation based on a simple thought experiment. To design more efficient, cost-effective networks with better services, the false assumption should be abandoned. *Joint work with Dr. G.L. LiBio: Victor O.K. Li (http://www.eee.hku.hk/staff_personal/vli.htm ) was born in Hong Kong in 1954. He received SB, SM, EE and ScD degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1977, 1979, 1980, and 1981, respectively. Since September 1997 he has been with the University of Hong Kong, where he is Chair Professor of Information Engineering. He also served as Managing Director of Versitech Ltd. (http://www.versitech.com.hk/ ), the technology transfer and commercial arm of the University, from September 1997 to June 2004. Prof. Li serves on various corporate boards. His research is in information technology, including all-optical networks, wireless networks, and Internet technologies and applications. Sought by government, industry, and academic organizations, he has lectured and consulted extensively around the world. Prof. Li is very active in the research community, and has chaired various international conferences and served on the editorial boards of various international journals. He has given distinguished lectures at universities around the world, and keynote speeches at many international conferences. Prof. Li has received numerous awards, including, most recently, the UK Royal Academy of Engineering Senior Visiting Fellowship in Communications, the KC Wong Education Foundation Lectureship, the Croucher Foundation Senior Research Fellowship, and the Bronze Bauhinia Star, Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, China. He was elected an IEEE Fellow in 1992.Host: Dr. C.-C. Jay Kuo, x04658, cckuo@sipi.usc.edu

Iron Laws for Multi-Core Scalability
Thu, Dec 01, 2005 @ 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
CENG SEMINAR SERIES"Iron Laws for Multi-Core Scalability"Dr. John P. ShenMicroarchitecture Research LabIntelBSTRACT:The current multi-core trend is the new rage in the industry. All major microprocessor companies have introduced or will soon introduce products containing multiple cores on a single die. It seems that scaling the number of cores has replaced the scaling of clock frequency as the primary design objective for architects. How far can we go in scaling the number of cores in the coming decade? What are the foundational principles, or "iron laws," that actually govern the scaling of multi-core machines? What are the fundamental forces that might conspire against multi-core scalability? This talk will attempt to formulate a clean framework to reason clearly about multi-core performance scalability issues. Iron laws on multi-core performance scalability with respect to architecture, algorithm, and power scaling, will be presented and illustrated with experimental data from MRL's research projects. Speculation on future multi-core designs and promising research directions will also be divulged.BIO:John P. Shen is the director of the Microarchitecture Research Lab (MRL) at Intel. MRL consists of couple dozen researchers spread out at three Intel sites in CA, OR, and TX. Prior to joining Intel in 2000 he spent quite a few years as a Professor in the ECE Department at Carnegie Mellon University. He supervised a total of 17 PhD students, published about 100 papers, and received multiple teaching awards, during his years at CMU. Prior to joining CMU, he spent his undergraduate years at Michigan and his graduate years at USC. He recently published the book "Modern Processor Design: Fundamentals of Superscalar Processors" with McGraw-Hill. He misses academia, but is enjoying his current job in the "real world."Host: Prof. Timothy Pinkston, x04482
