DESCRIPTION:Dr. Phillip Stanley-Marbell\, Apple Inc.\, Cupertino\nComputi
 ng systems embedded in our environments often operate under timing constra
 ints and must conserve energy usage. Because they typically perform comput
 ation on noisy inputs\, or generate outputs for perception by humans\, hig
 h precision in their results is not always necessary.\nThis talk will addr
 ess the research challenge of time-\, energy-\, and precision-efficient co
 mputation in embedded systems\, with application to in-situ sensor data an
 alytics. The talk will present theoretical results augmented by empirical 
 data\, to provide a deeper understanding of the tradeoff between time- and
  energy-efficiency through the use of parallelism\, and how these tradeoff
 s are influenced by semiconductor-device and system-architectural properti
 es. The insight gained from this analysis will be used to motivate two gen
 erations of embedded multiprocessor platforms developed to enable research
  in tradeoffs between energy-efficiency\, performance\, and tolerance to i
 mprecision in computation and communication.\nBio: Phillip Stanley-Marbel
 l received his Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon University in 2007. He was a pos
 t-doctoral researcher at TU Eindhoven until 2008\, when he joined IBM Rese
 arch---Zurich as a permanent Research Staff Member. In 2012 he joined Appl
 e to see his research ideas deployed in real-world products. Prior to comp
 leting his Ph.D.\, he held intern and full-time positions at AT&T / Lucent
  Bell-Labs\, Philips Consumer Communications\, Lucent's Data Networking Gr
 oup\, and NEC Research Labs. \nDr. Stanley-Marbell is the author of a pro
 gramming language textbook published by John Wiley & Sons in 2003\, and of
  over thirty scientific publications and seven patents / patent applicatio
 ns. He is a member of the ACM\, IEEE\, Sigma Xi\, USENIX\, and the Swiss M
 athematical Society. From 2003--2004\, he served as the copy editor for th
 e ACM Mobile Computing and Communications Review journal.\nHis research in
 terests are in architectures for high-efficiency embedded data processing\
 , approximate compute architectures for future device technologies\, and d
 omain-specific programming languages for implementing precision-efficient 
 algorithms.
