Join IEEE and Dr. Pinkston in our Spotlight Series on Hardware and Computer Engineering! Abstract: As device technology continues to scale into the nanometer regime enabling an exponential growth in the number of transistors integrated on a chip, the ability of computer systems to exploit potential processing parallelism hinges on sound interconnection network design. Interconnection networks provide connectivity between multiple computer system components to support communication of growing amounts of data reliably in minimal time, energy, and cost. Advancements in this aspect of computer system architecture and design is critically important for continued progress to be made in multicore computingthe new wave of parallel processing. In this talk, recent trends and developments in this area will be discussed against the backdrop of how computing is pervading our lives.FREE FOOD will be provided!
