Sarita Adve, Visiting Professor in the School of Computer and Communication Sciences at EPFL and Professor of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Invited by Prof. Babak Falsafi Bio: Sarita Adve is Visiting Professor in the School of Computer and Communication Sciences at EPFL and Professor of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Her research interests are in computer architecture, parallel computing, and power- and reliability-aware systems. She is a recipient of the Anita Borg Institute Women of Vision award in innovation, the ACM SIGARCH Maurice Wilkes award, and an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship. She is a fellow of the ACM and the IEEE and was named a University Scholar by the University of Illinois. She serves on the boards of the Computing Research Association and ACM SIGARCH. She received the Ph.D. in Computer Science from Wisconsin in 1993 and a B.Tech. in Electrical Engineering from IIT-Bombay in 1987. |

Abstract: Approximate computing is often described as a paradigm that enables trading output quality for resource usage. Real-time systems (and other) communities, however, have traded quality for resources for decades. Approximate computing is also described as exploiting applications' inherent ability to tolerate faults and imprecision. Software-driven hardware resiliency approaches have exploited such attributes for low-cost resilience for a few years now. This talk will attempt to connect the old with the new and separate the hype from what could truly be the new frontier. I will draw from my experiences with the GRACE real-time resource management and the SWAT software-driven hardware resiliency projects.
Cookies and drinks will be available before the talk.
