Massive Data Computing in a Connected World

by Dr Pradeep K. Dubey (Intel Corp.)

Monday 5 Oct 2009, 11:00 → 12:00 Europe/Zurich

IT Auditorium (CERN)

Computing platforms and the World Wide Web are undergoing significant architectural transitions driven by the unprecedented convergence of the need to process massive amounts of data with the availability of massive compute resources. This has significant algorithmic implications for traditional approaches to many common computational problems in visual computing and analytics. This further has the potential to enable a new class of Connected Computing applications. The service-oriented focus and real-time nature of these emerging applications make computing more implicit and capable of delivering a significantly more immersive experience to a broader class of end-users. This talk will explore the compute-platform implications of this trend.

About the speaker

Pradeep Dubey is a Senior Principal Engineer and Director of Throughput Computing Lab, part of Microprocessor and Programming Research division of Intel Labs. His research focus is computer architectures to efficiently handle new application paradigms for the future computing environment. He is currently responsible for throughput computing applications on Intel’s Larrabee architecture. Dubey previously worked at IBM's T.J. Watson Research Center, and Broadcom Corporation. He was one of the principal architects of the AltiVec* multimedia extension to Power PC* architecture. He also worked on the design, architecture, and performance issues of various microprocessors, including Intel® i386TM, i486TM, and Pentium® processors. He holds 26 patents and has published extensively. Dr. Dubey received his PhD in electrical engineering from Purdue University. He is a Fellow of IEEE.
