08:45am - 09:00am |
Welcome - Professor David Culler, EECS Department Chair and Professor Tsu-Jae King Liu, Associate Chair
Announcement of EE and CS Distuinguished Alumni award winners |
09:00am - 09:30am |
Prof. Edward Lee - "The Swarm at the Edge of the Cloud" 
New research that aims to enable the simple, reliable, and secure deployment of a multiplicity of advanced distributed sense-and-control applications on shared, massively distributed, heterogeneous, and mostly uncoordinated swarm platforms through an open and universal systems architecture. |
09:30am - 10:00am |
Prof. Krste Asanovic - "The ASPIRE Project" 
Announcing a new 5-year research project that recognizes the shift from transistor-scaling-driven performance improvements to a new post-scaling world where whole-stack co-design is the key to improved efficiency. Building on the success of the soon to be completed Par Lab project, it uses deep hardware and software co-tuning to achieve the highest possible performance and energy efficiency for future mobile and rack computing systems. |
10:00am - 10:30am |
Prof. Richard Karp - "Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing" 
A 10-year, $60M institute that Berkeley won in May as a result of a nationwide competition. The Institute will bring together scientists from around the world to explore fundamental issues in the theory of computing and cast a "computational lens" on phenomena in biology, physics, economics, digital systems, engineering and commerce that can be described in terms of computational processes. |
10:30am - 11:00am |
Prof. David Patterson - "Using Big D to Fight the Big C" 
Analyzing cancer tumor genomes involving computer scientists from Berkeley, Intel, and Microsoft to help fight the war on cancer. This talk covers new and much faster and more accurate genetic analysis pipelines being developed at Berkeley and the technical, cost, and policy issues required to create a Million Cancer Genome Warehouse. |
11:00am- 11:25am |
