Title: In Computer Architecture, We Don\u2019t Change the Questions, We Change the Answers<\/strong> (video (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaker: <\/strong>Mark D. Hill (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>, Microsoft Azure and University of Wisconsin-Madison<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"MarkAbstract: <\/strong>When I was a new professor in the late 1980s, my senior colleague Jim Goodman told me, \u201cOn the computer architecture PhD qualifying exam, we don\u2019t change the questions, we only change the answers.\u201d More generally, I now augment this to say, \u201cIn computer architecture, we don\u2019t change the questions, application and technology innovations change the answers, and it’s our job to recognize those changes.\u201d <\/em>Eternal questions this talk will sample are how best to do the following interacting factors: compute, memory, storage, interconnect\/networking, security, power, cooling and one more. The talk will not provide the answers but leave that as an audience exercise. I will dive a little more into compute and memory as in-progress trends provide both challenges and opportunities for creating tremendous value from (large) data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biography: <\/strong>Mark D. Hill is Partner Hardware Architect with Microsoft Azure (2020-present) where he leads software-hardware pathfinding. He is also the Gene M. Amdahl and John P. Morgridge Professor Emeritus of Computer Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (http:\/\/www.cs.wisc.edu\/~markhill (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>), following his 1988-2020 service in Computer Sciences and Electrical and Computer Engineering. His research interests include parallel-computer system design, memory system design, and computer simulation. Hill’s work is highly collaborative with over 160 co-authors. He received the 2019 Eckert-Mauchly Award and is a fellow of AAAS, ACM, and IEEE. He served on the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) 2013-21 including as CCC Chair 2018-20, Computing Research Association (CRA) Board of Directors 2018-20, and Wisconsin Computer Sciences Department Chair 2014-2017. Hill has a PhD in computer science from the University of California, Berkeley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
