Molim da ovo stavite na sve liste na ETF, PMF, EKO i FON,
Singidunum, Union, Metropolitan, Megatrend,
odnosno da i sami dodjete na ovo predavanje
(sala 2 u zgradi SANU):

Prof. Dr. Oskar Mencer, MAXELER, London, UK.

Oskar (36) je vecinski vlasnik firme koja trenutno proizvodi UBEDLJIVO najbrzi superkompjuter na svetu, po bencmarcima za idustriju nafte i bankarske transakcije, a sve to po ideji koju je Oskar dobio dok je na Stanfordu radio doktorat kod cuvenog profesora Flynn-a (HD of UB).

Oskar je sada u BG u vezi sardnje sa ETF i firmom IPSI.
Oskarovi otac i majka su se rodili na teritoriji danasnje Srbije.
Oskar je takodje i profesor i sef jedne katedre
na uglednom Imperial College, London, UK. Ima 2 sina (7 i 4).

Matematicki Institut SANU je uzeo na sebe obavezu da organizuje ovo predavanje i poziva Vas u utorak, 31. avgusta u 18h, u sali 2 SANU.

Oskar Mencer  (http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~oskar/),
Senior Lecturer, EPSRC Advanced Fellow, Computer Architecture Research
Group, Department of Computing, Imperial College London,
CEO kompanije Maxeler Technologies, Inc, (www.maxeler.com),
koja je jedan od svetskih lidera u oblasti High Performance Computing (HPC) .

Vertical Acceleration: From Algorithms to Logic Gates

Abstract. Huge growth in the complexity of science over the past decade
has driven the need for ever more computationally demanding mathematical
models. This has in turn led to massive growth in data center compute
capacity, and consequently power and cooling requirements. We report the
real-world results from Maxeler Technologies to improve the
price-performance and just raw speed for financial and seismic
computations by using custom computing machines. The key to our
acceleration approach is the vertical acceleration of key pieces of the
algorithms, including the bit level, arithmetic level, architecture level,
and algorithm level.

Speaker information: Prior to founding Maxeler Technologies, Oskar Mencer
was Member of Technical Staff at Bell Labs, leading the effort on
"Computing with FPGAs" within the Computing Sciences Center. He joined
Bell Labs after receiving a PhD from Stanford University. Besides his work
with Maxeler, Oskar is also affiliated with the Computing Department at
Imperial College London and holds a Consulting Professor position at the
Geophysics department at Stanford University. Oskar's experience includes start-ups and more established companies in Silicon Valley such as DIGITAL, Rockwell and Hitachi (Tokyo).
