Talk: System-on-Chip Architectures for Hyperscale Servers

Speaker: Paolo Faraboschi – HP Labs

Short-Bio:

Paolo Faraboschi is a Distinguished Technologist at HP Labs, where he currently works on research and advanced development of future low-energy servers. His research interests are at the intersection of architecture, hardware and system software. From 2004 to 2010 he led the HP Labs Barcelona group working on system-level modeling and simulation. From 1995 to 2003 he worked at HP Labs Cambridge and was the principal architect of Lx/ST200 family of VLIW embedded cores (developed in partnership with STMicroelectronics), used in several consumer SoCs for a variety of audio, video and imaging products, including HP's printers and scanners. Paolo is an active member of the computer architecture community: he is guest co-editor of IEEE Micro TopPicks 2012, was Program Chair for HiPEAC10 (2010), MICRO41 (2008) and MICRO34 (2001). He holds 18 patents and is a book co-author of “Embedded Computing: a VLIW approach to architecture, compiler end tools”. Before joining HP in 1994, he received a Ph.D. in EECS (1993) and an M.S. in EE (1989) from the University of Genoa, Italy.
