Sloan fellowships for 2008. Sloan Research Fellowships are awarded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to encourage the work of the very best young faculty members in diverse fields such as Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Molecular Biology, Economics, and Neuroscience. The awardees are chosen on the basis of their prior research accomplishments and outstanding promise of making fundamental contributions to their research areas.  Thirty-five Sloan Fellows have won Nobel Prizes later in their careers.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ETwo areas in which Dr. Kalai has made strong contributions are online algorithms and machine learning. In online algorithms, he has contributed a new proof of a stock market strategy called the Universal Portfolio which has led to a polytime algorithm using a biased random walk - a new tool for online algorithms. In the past few years, Adam\u2019s work on the online decision problem has changed the course of the field. Adam discovered an algorithm for the general problem of online linear optimization where costs add up over the sequence: maintain the best solution on the past, on a randomly perturbed version of the data so far. Adam\u2019s proof is so transparent that it has lead to many follow-up papers in a short time. In learning theory, he found a new algorithm for learning parity functions in the presence of random noise. This settles a theoretical question about the power of statistical learning and remains the best-known algorithm for this central problem in learning theory. His algorithm also has a direct application to the classic question of finding the shortest vector in a lattice. \u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EDr. Feamster\u2019s research agenda is in the area of network operations. He interprets the scope of this research to encompass questions regarding network connectivity such as how to make it robust and how to incentivize it within the context of Internet economics. His research also considers network security as an operational primitive and is concerned with how network monitoring can be used to enhance security. Within these broad research areas, Nick has several important and highly creative research contributions including work on a routing configuration compiler that incorporates program analysis techniques to analyze complex router configurations in a network to predict their behavior; a technique for detecting spam through network traffic monitoring that relies on understanding the network-level behavior of spam and using that signature to detect spam as it is being carried over the network; and an architecture for network virtualization that can provide robust and flexible network connectivity, an idea first proposed by Dr. Feamster as the basis of a future Internet design.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAssistant professors Feamster and Kalai are among the 16 recipients of the award for Computer Science this year. The award carries a two-year, $50,000 grant for the faculty to spend on their respective research interests.

Sciences at Georgia Tech today announced the creation of a new doctoral degree in Computational Science and Engineering (CSE), a cooperative, truly interdisciplinary effort between the three academic units spearheaded by the Computational Science and Engineering division in the College of Computing. Combined with a Master\u2019s degree program in CSE, Georgia Tech now offers a comprehensive post-graduate study program that explores the full scope of this expanding field. \u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u201cComputation has become widely accepted as the third mode of discovery, along with theory and experimentation, in the advancement of scientific knowledge,\u201d said Richard Fujimoto, Regents\u2019 Professor and Chair of the Computational Science and Engineering division in the College of Computing. \u201cComputation, through modeling, simulation, analysis and its other forms, is essential in creating new applications with great impact on the sustainable growth of cities, the design of power-efficient buildings, the creation of new biomedical devices, the eradication of life-threatening diseases and other issues of great social importance. Through the study of phenomena as large as the universe, or the engineering of systems as small as nanomaterials, breakthroughs in the CSE field will be the catalyst for future innovations that affect society and culture on a global scale.\u201d \u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EGeorgia Tech is an established leader in the fields of engineering and sciences, and is quickly becoming recognized for defining the direction of the computing discipline. Interdisciplinary in nature, this new degree program will capitalize on the talented faculty and wealth of resources that exist in these three areas and enable students to take best advantage of the growing number of career opportunities in this field. Approximately 10 candidates per year are expected to be admitted, gradually building the program to 50 enrolled students. Georgia Tech currently has over 80 faculty actively engaged in CSE research.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe new CSE doctoral program begins with core computational science and engineering research requirements, along with dedicated components to solidify each student\u2019s competency within a variety of computing specializations. Students must take at least four courses from the following five areas of study: numerical and scientific computing, computational science and engineering algorithms, modeling and simulation, computational data analysis and visualization, and high performance computing. As the student\u2019s research progresses, he\/she will then select a primary computational area of focus, a course of study in some application domain, as well as a qualifier examination and, finally, the completion of a dissertation. \u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAbout the College of Sciences at Georgia Tech\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe College of Sciences at Georgia Tech includes seven schools: Applied Physiology, Biology, Chemistry and Biochemistry, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, \u003Cbr \/\u003EMathematics, Physics, and Psychology plus the Center for Education Integrating Science, Mathematics, and Computing (CEISMC), which works with K-12 schools \u003Cbr \/\u003Eand teachers to improve Georgia science and mathematics education.

Through Georgia Tech\u2019s efforts, the STI Center has been responsible for creating and disseminating software optimized for Cell\/B.E. systems, and for performing research on the design of Cell\/B.E. systems, algorithms and applications. In conjunction with this renewal of the STI Center, Georgia Tech is announcing a series of new research projects that are being undertaken at the center to develop applications and productivity tools based on the Cell\/B.E. microprocessor.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EGeorgia Tech also announced today that it will host the Second Annual Cell\/B.E. Processor Workshop from July 10-11, 2008, focusing on software, tools and applications for the Cell\/B.E. processor, including high performance computing applications and programmability tools. The two-day workshop is sponsored by Sony Group, Toshiba and IBM and will be held at the Klaus Advanced Computing Building on Georgia Tech\u2019s campus. More information on the workshop may be found at \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/sti.cc.gatech.edu\/\u0022 target=\u0022_self\u0022\u003Ehttp:\/\/sti.cc.gatech.edu\/\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe STI Center of Competence was created at Georgia Tech to test the boundaries and demonstrate the extreme performance of the Cell\/B.E. architecture. \u201cToday, we are carrying out the vision we always intended - to generate breakthrough innovations using Cell\/B.E. technologies working hand-in-hand with researchers at Sony Group, Toshiba and IBM,\u201d said David A.

Adapted to the advanced hardware, these programs ran 10 times faster on the multithreaded machine. \u0022That was the best speed ever reported. We\u0027re getting closer to being able to track the grid in real time,\u0022 said Nieplocha.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIn biology, another complex web is woven by genes (or their protein products) working together inside people\u0027s cells. \u201cWe have discovered genes implicated in breast cancer using a massively multithreaded algorithm on the Cray XMT,\u201d said Georgia Tech computational scientist and engineer David A. Bader. \u201cIt\u2019s like finding a needle in a haystack. The algorithm searches for genes whose removal quickly causes networks and pathways in the cell to breakdown.\u0022\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe processors and computer memory in the advanced computers interact in a novel way. In traditional supercomputers, each processing chip gets an dollop of memory to use for its computations. To perform a calculation, the chip dips into the memory, does its work, then accesses the memory again for its next calculation, like an elephant dipping its trunk into a bag of peanuts and eating them one at a time. Each processor-memory unit is linked together over a network, and performance improvements come with more and faster processors and sleek network connections.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe Cray XMT multithreaded system lumps all the memory together, and the processors freely access the much larger memory pool. But like an elephant with many trunks, each processor has multiple threads: it dips into memory with one thread, and while that thread is performing the calculation at hand, another thread goes into the memory, and another.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EBy the time all the threads have dipped, the original thread has finished its calculation and is ready for another trip to the memory bank. A many-trunked elephant would have a distinct speed advantage plowing through a bag of peanuts over its hungrier zoo-mate, just as a multithreaded system does.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0022The processors are doing useful work all the time, so the computer can be faster,\u0022 said Chavarr\u00eda. Each Cray XMT processor has 128 hardware threads with which to access the shared memory.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EConceptually, this advantage translates into the machines being able to handle complex, random networks of data. Mainstream machines split up the data, assigning parcels of data to individual processing units. For example, a supercomputer trying to model how a community of microbes behaves would subdivide the community spatially.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe computer would then analyze what goes on within each subdivision, but it couldn\u0027t reach across other subdivisions to find out what happened to the microbe that wandered off to the other side of its habitat. Multithreaded machines, however, can examine the whole space at once, essentially assigning each thread to a microbe.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0022If all of your microbes move to the other side of the territory, it doesn\u0027t matter, because the threads still have access,\u0022 said Chavarr\u00eda.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAnother advantage multithreaded machines have over mainsteam computers is in power consumption. Although the Cray has not yet been tested, other multithreaded machines have shown reduced energy usage compared to traditional architectures.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe Computational Science \u0026amp; Engineering division at the Georgia Institute of Technology (CSE) was established in 2005 to strengthen and better reflect the critical role that computation plays in the science and engineering disciplines.

You\u2019re getting out. You\u2019re a success.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EI\u2019d like to address three questions:\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EHow might you define success for the rest of your lives?\u00a0 \u003Cbr \/\u003EWhat can we learn from how others view success?\u00a0\u00a0 \u003Cbr \/\u003EHow do I, Jim Foley, define success?\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ETo learn how you, the graduating class, might define success, I asked students in my spring classes \u201cWhat does it mean to be successful?\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ETheir replies were thoughtful. Let me tell you what my students did and did not say. They did not say they wanted to have a fast expensive car. They did not say they wanted to be rich. In fact, quite a few explicitly rejected that as being successful.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EYou Georgia Tech students are not just smart, you\u2019re wise.\u00a0 You knew, wisely, what the author Thomas Wolfe said: \u201cYou have reached the pinnacle of success as soon as you become uninterested in money, compliments, or publicity.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EMy own philosophy is \u201cDon\u2019t seek out compliments and publicity \u2013 earn them, and they will come to you.\u201d\u00a0 There is a simpler version of this: \u201cmodesty is a virtue.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ENow, what did my students say?\u00a0 Many said they wanted to be happy, have good friends and a loving family.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThey understood implicitly what the Nobel Prize winning medical missionary and philosopher Albert Schweitzer said a long time ago: \u201cSuccess is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EStudents often ask me, \u201cShould I take this job, or that job?\u201d My standard advice is, \u201cGo where your heart takes you.\u201d\u00a0 \u201cGo where your passion lies.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EMost successful people truly love what they are doing. Take a job that doesn\u2019t excite you, and being successful will be really tough.\u00a0 Your lack of excitement and energy will be sensed by others and will likely defeat you, just as your passion for your work will help you.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EI call this passion \u201cThe Fire in the Belly\u201d and often talk about it with my colleagues as we review faculty and graduate student applicants.\u00a0 A few years ago I was apparently using the phrase so much, that when a group of faculty colleagues and I were celebrating a success, they gave me pictures of an oriental fire-bellied toad, a European fire-bellied toad, a fire-bellied newt and a fire-bellied lizard.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EI didn\u2019t realize there were so many fire-bellied creatures like me!\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EMany of your fellow students simply talked about \u201cachieving goals.\u201d A few of the goals were specific:\u00a0 invent something important; be recognized in my profession.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIt was as though they had heard J.C. Penney, founder of a large chain of variety stores, say: \u201cGive me a stock clerk with a goal, and I\u0027ll give you a man who will make history. Give me a man with no goals, and I\u0027ll give you a stock clerk.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EMany of my students\u2019 goals were much more about the kind of life they wanted to lead than about specific end results.\u00a0\u00a0 In some way, they recognized that success in life is more about the journey, about HOW you conduct yourself, about how you lead your life, no matter the final destination.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EWhat about my own view of success? It has changed over the years.\u00a0 After reading Steven Covey\u2019s best selling Seven Habits of Highly Successful People, I was able to put my evolving notions of success into a context.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ECovey talks about three stages we go through as we grow up: dependence, independence, interdependence.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EDependence \u2013 when I was a kid, I depended on my parents, as we all did.\u00a0 My goals were food, go swimming, play with my model trains, have fun.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIndependence \u2013 that\u2019s the \u201cknow it all\u201c stage, when we rebel, when we go off to college. We want to make our own way. My own independence stage lasted a long time. My goals were about me.\u00a0 Earn good grades. Graduate.\u00a0 Get a job.\u00a0 Get research funding. Write research papers. Publish research papers. Earn tenure. Be promoted. It was about me.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThen finally, there is interdependence \u2013 when we recognize and celebrate our mutual interdependencies \u2013 at work, in clubs, at home.\u00a0 When I finally got to this stage, probably in my late thirties, I began to say more and more to myself and to others:\u00a0 \u201cYour success is my success.\u201d If I can help you succeed, then I too will have succeeded.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EI was saying it\u2019s no longer about me, it\u2019s about us; we\u2019re all in this together.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe sooner one gets to that stage, the better.\u00a0 I hope many of you are already there. At your age, I sure wasn\u2019t.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EBy the way, the subtext here is that goals change over time, as we journey through life.\u00a0 That\u2019s O.K.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EWhat I\u2019m saying is that the way I have chosen to define success for me, that is, the way I have chosen to lead my life, is by putting into practice \u201cyour success is my success.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EOne way to think about \u201cYour success is my success\u201d is to recognize that we have all been mentored \u2013 by parents and friends, and in my case by my parents and wife and two daughters \u2013 and we have all been taught by teachers, coaches, and others \u2013 and they have all cheered us on to our successes.\u00a0 In fact, my wife is sitting right over there, rooting for me.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ENo matter what our career, we can all cheer others on; we can all be mentors. In fact, we can all be teachers \u2013 it doesn\u2019t have to be in the classroom. It can be whenever a colleague or friend seeks help solving a problem.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIn my case, having taught in the classroom, I can tell you that teaching helps not just the learner but also the teacher.\u00a0 Explaining a concept sharpens how well you understand it.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIf I had the privilege of teaching any of you who are graduating today, let me thank you right now for what you taught me with your questions in class, your test answers, your projects.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe logical conclusion to \u201cYour success is my success\u201d is to recognize that we did not get where we are without the help of others.\u00a0 Your success in graduating today comes not just from your own hard work but also from your teachers, mentors and parents. So I ask you now to take a moment to answer for yourself two questions:\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EHow will you thank those who helped you earn your Georgia Tech degree?\u003Cbr \/\u003EHow will you pay it forward to others?\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThink about that for a moment.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIn closing, I\u2019d like to share with you two success lessons I learned from my Mom and Dad.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EFrom Mom, I learned determination.\u00a0 Yes, you need to love what you are doing, you need that fire in the belly, but you also need determination to do what it is you have set out to do.\u00a0 Not a reckless \u201cdamn the torpedoes, full speed ahead\u201d but an inner strength and belief in yourself and your goals that keeps you going when times get tough.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIt\u2019s the same idea as the brick wall my friend Randy Pausch described in his \u201clast lecture\u201d \u2013 the brick wall is there to test your determination.\u00a0 To test how badly you want something.\u00a0 Determination can carry you a long way.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EFrom Dad, I learned to be nice to everyone.\u00a0 He never talked about it with me, he just did it.

A collaborative effort between the Georgia Tech Colleges of Computing and Engineering, the Center for Manycore Computing (CMC) will address deep, foundational challenges in programming, design and systems development to overcome power and architecture barriers to the progression of computer performance.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u201cOur mission at the Center for Manycore Computing is to establish a research agenda that looks well-beyond the short-term and develops innovative and applicable solutions to future limitations on computing progress,\u201d said Tom Conte, professor and director of the planned Georgia Tech Center for Manycore Computing. \u201cBy projecting out decades, we can better ensure sustained growth in the power, speed and capabilities of technologies that drive worldwide social and economic growth.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EUnder the premise of Moore\u2019s Law, the number of transistors able to be placed on an integrated circuit doubles every two years \u2013 yielding an exponential increase in the speed, power and memory of computing technologies over time. While computer architects and engineers continue to chart computing progress against Moore\u2019s Law, power and design limitations threaten the ability of the technology industry to sustain its momentum. One solution to such challenges is the \u201cmanycore approach\u201d \u2013 creating a chip composed of hundreds to thousands of light-weight core processors operating in parallel to advance the processing of ever higher-data, higher-power operations and applications.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EManycore computing will enable computing functions that are impossible today. For example, in the emerging field of mobile robotics, manycore computing would allow exponentially enhanced functionality of the robot, leading to its ability to better assess, react to and manipulate its surroundings.
