IEEE SSCS Utah Chapter Lecture by Dr. Keith A. Bowman
Room: Event Space, Bldg: Engineering Building, Brigham Young University, Campus Dr, Provo, Utah, United States, 84604We are pleased to welcome Dr. Keith A. Bowman, Principal Engineer at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., as our Distinguished Lecturer. Dr. Bowman will be speaking at BYU on the topic of "Adaptive Designs for Processor Performance, Energy Efficiency, and Reliability". Keith brings a wealth of industry experience on this topic pertaining to today's cutting edge IC design. System-on-chip (SoC) processors are used across a wide range of market segments, including Internet of Things (IoT), mobile, laptop, automotive, and datacenter, experience dynamic device, circuit, and system parameter variations during the operational lifetime. These dynamic parameter variations include supply voltage droops, temperature changes, transistor aging, and workload fluctuations, degrade processor performance, energy efficiency, yield, and reliability. This lecture introduces the primary variation sources and the negative impact of these variations across voltage and clock frequency operating conditions. Dr. Bowman will also present adaptive processor designs to mitigate the adverse effects from dynamic parameter variations, while highlighting the key trade-offs and considerations for product deployment. Additionally, Dr. Bowman will provide a follow up lecture entitled, "How to Write a Strong SSCS Paper" for those that are interested. This event requires pre-registration by March 12, 2025. Co-sponsored by: Brigham Young University College of Engineering Speaker(s): Keith Bowman, Agenda: Dr. Bowman's lecture will start promptly at 10:00am MST in the BYU Engineering Building (EB) Event Space. A Question and Answer session will follow. A pizza lunch will be provided from 12pm to 1:00pm. Lunch is free for IEEE members, with a $6.00 charge for non-members. A special follow up lecture and Question and Answer session will begin at 1:00pm in Room CB 490, in which Dr. Bowman will discuss, “How to Write a Strong SSCS Paper." This will last approximately 1 hour. Room: Event Space, Bldg: Engineering Building, Brigham Young University, Campus Dr, Provo, Utah, United States, 84604
