Future Computing Technology (1/3)

by Andrzej Nowak (TIK Services, Switzerland)

Wednesday 28 Oct 2015, 11:00 → 12:00 Europe/Zurich

222/R-001 (CERN)

Computing of the future will be affected by a number of fundamental technologies in development today, many of which are already on the way to becoming commercialized. In this series of lectures, we will discuss hardware and software development that will become mainstream in the timeframe of a few years and how they will shape or change the computing landscape - commercial and personal alike. Topics range from processor and memory aspects, programming models and the limits of artificial intelligence, up to end-user interaction with wearables or e-textiles. We discuss the impact of these technologies on the art of programming, the data centres of the future and daily life.

On the first day of the Future Computing Technology series, we will focus on Moore’s Law and its widely propagating effects on all aspects of modern computing. This includes processor and memory technologies, as well as supercomputer and datacenter architecture. We will also discuss young technologies such as Silicon Photonics, graphene and biomolecular (DNA) computing.

 

 

Lecturer's short bio:

Andrzej Nowak has 10 years of experience in computing technologies, primarily from CERN openlab and Intel. At CERN, he managed a research lab collaborating with Intel and was part of the openlab Chief Technology Office. Andrzej also worked closely and initiated projects with the private sector (e.g. HP and Google), as well as international research institutes, such as EPFL. Currently, Andrzej acts as a consultant on technology and innovation with TIK Services (http://tik.services), and runs a peer-to-peer lending start-up.
