Keynote

• Title: Software Challenges for Heterogeneous Architectures

   

• Biography: Dr. Sudhakar Yalamanchili earned his Ph.D degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering 1984 from the University of Texas at Austin. Upon graduation, he joined Honeywell’s Systems and Research Center in Minneapolis working on embedded multiprocessor architectures.  He joined the ECE faculty at Georgia Tech in 1989 where he is now a Joseph M. Pettit Professor of Computer Engineering. He is the author of VHDL Starters Guide, 2^nd edition, Prentice Hall 2004, VHDL: From Simulation to Synthesis, Prentice Hall, 2000, and co-author with J. Duato and L. Ni, of Interconnection Networks: An Engineering Approach, Morgan Kaufman, 2003. His current research interests lie in addressing the software challenges of heterogeneous architectures, integration of interconnection network and memory systems’, and solutions to power and thermal issues in many core architectures. Since 2003 he has been a Co-Director of the NSF Industry University Cooperative Research Center on Experimental Computer Systems at Georgia Tech.

  Dr. Yalamanchili contributes professionally with regular service on editorial boards and conference program committees. Most recently he is a General Co-Chair of the 2010 IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Microarchitecture (MICRO).
