Abstract: What are the similarities our era shares with that lived by von Neumann and Shannon? Why should we aspire to develop different processor architectures? What problems will besiege the evolution of architecture? How to choose direction of research? What method is applied to find an answer? Dr. Liao Heng will give a macro-explanation on the frontier development trends and evolution elements of processor technology based on his own experience.
Personal introduction: Liao Heng, Ph.D. from Tsinghua University, post-doctorate at Princeton University.
