Keynote talk I: Ending the Tyranny of Amdahl's Law

摘要

If the computing industry wants to continue to make scalability the primary source of value in tomorrow's computing systems, we will have to quickly find new and productive ways to scale the serial portions of important applications. In this talk, I will highlight my work and the work of others to do just this through the application of heterogeneous parallel designs. Of course, we will want to address the scalability of sequential codes, but future scalability success will ultimately hinge on addressing how we address the scalability of future applications' through more affordable design and manufacturing techniques.
