講演内容（Abstract)
This talk takes a new look at associative computing -- a variation of
SIMD computing developed over 30 years ago -- and its application to
embedded systems.
As chips grow to exceed one billion transistors, architects find a
myriad of uses for those transistors, including Systems-on-a-Chip
(SOCs), multiprocessor SOCs, and DSP arrays. Yet another alternative
is the SIMD processor array SOC, with thousands of small Processing
Elements (PEs) controlled by one or more Control Units (CUs) on a
single chip. While some applications may benefit from tens of
powerful 64-bit CPUs, a large shared memory, and a network-on-a-chip,
other applications may benefit from thousands of simple 8-bit CPUs,
each with a small local memory, and the resulting massive parallelism.
This talk will describe an extension to SIMD computing called
"associative computing" that is ideally suited for many applications
such as database processing, image processing, genome matching, or
computational geometry. Two associative SIMD algorithms will be
described in detail -- a string matching algorithm and a convex hull
algorithm.
講演者略歴(Biography)
Robert A. Walker received his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer
Engineering from Carnegie-Mellon University in 1988. He joined the
faculty of in the Computer Science Department at Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute in 1989, and moved to Kent State University in
1996. He has a strong interest in teaching, and received the Lilly
Endowment Teaching Fellowship in 1990 and the Rensselaer Distinguished
Teaching Fellowship in 1992.
His early research interests were in the field of high-level
synthesis, in particular the scheduling and design space exploration
problems. He wrote two dozen papers and two books on these topics.
His more recent work has focused on novel architectures for embedded
systems. He and many of his students have explored the use of
associative SIMD computing techniques on FPGAs. With another student,
he is exploring techniques for improving instruction cache performance
in embedded systems.
Dr. Walker is very active in the Association for Computing Machinery
(ACM), where he is currently serving as the Chairman of the ACM
Special Interest Group on Design Automation (ACM/SIGDA) and as Chair
of the ACM SIG Governing Board. He has been on the ACM/SIGDA Advisory
Board since 1992, previously serving as Secretary / Treasurer and
Newsletter Editor, and he received the SIGDA Meritorious Service Award
in 1997.
Dr. Walker has served on over 50 conference steering, organizing, and
program committees, including 7 years on the the ICCAD Executive
Committee, and current service on the DAC Executive Committee.
