Abstract:
The Intel Science and Technology Center (ISTC) for Cloud Computing is a five year, $15M research partnership between Carnegie Mellon, Georgia Tech, Princeton, UC Berkeley, U. Washington, and Intel to research underlying infrastructure enabling the future of cloud computing.  Now in its third year, the center has made significant advances in the areas of specialization, automation, big data, and to-the-edge, with 150+ papers, popular open source code releases, and initial tech transfer into Intel.  This talk will overview the center’s research agenda, highlight some of the key results, and preview where things are headed next.  The last part of the talk will provide a deeper dive into the center’s research on machine learning over big data (“Big Learning”).

Biography:
Phillip B. Gibbons is a Principal Research Scientist at Intel Labs and Principal Investigator (together with Prof. Greg Ganger) for the Intel Science and Technology Center for Cloud Computing. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of California at Berkeley in 1989. He joined Intel Labs (Intel Research) in 2001 after 11 years at (AT&T and Lucent) Bell Laboratories. Gibbons is an Adjunct (Full) Professor in the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University.  His research areas include parallel computing, databases/big data systems, cloud computing, sensor networks, distributed systems, and computer architecture. Gibbons’ publications span theory and systems, across a broad range of computer science (e.g., papers in ASPLOS, CCS, CIDR, EuroSys, ICDM, JFP, MICRO, NIPS, PACT, PLDI, PODC, PPoPP, SIGMOD, SPAA, ToN and VLDBJ in 2010-2013), and have been cited over 12,000 times (including 33 papers cited over 100 times, and an h-index of 59) [Google Scholar]. Gibbons has served on 60+ international program committees, including being program chair/co-chair/vice-chair/area-chair for the SPAA, SenSys, IPSN, Sigmod, ICDCS, ICDE, and DCOSS conferences. He is Editor-in-Chief for the newly launched ACM Transactions on Parallel Computing, and an Associate Editor for both the Journal of the ACM and the IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing.  He is an inventor on 17 U.S. Patents.  Gibbons is an ACM Fellow and an IEEE Fellow.
