"The Veyron Manycore: Can we learn from the past?"

Abstract:

The Manycores are coming! The Manycores are coming! The Intel Larrabee, NVIDIA's latest, etc. Why are they coming?

What is a 'manycore' anyway? What's New and Special about these multiprocessors? Can we draw upon the previous fads with multiprocessing to learn some lessons, or are we doomed to repeat the errors of the past? This talk will seek to answer, at  least in part, these questions by presenting some design motivations and technologies for the GT Veyron manycore project.

Bio:

Tom Conte is a professor of Computer Science in the College of Computing. Prior to joining Georgia Tech, he was a professor at NC State university, where he had a hand in building up a computer architecture group of faculty in their ECE department. Prior to /that/, he spent three (long) years at a very small place. Prior to even /that/, he cunningly escaped from a Euclidean desert of corn by getting his Ph.D. in EE from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He's done some other things too, like chief microarchitect of a real, honest-to-God, computer company where they built a commercially competitive DSP in the early 2000s. He's also had numerous speeding tickets in his lifetime.
