The EVEREST System-Development-Kit (SDK)
Abstract:
The goal of the H2020 project EVEREST (https://everest-h2020.eu/) is to develop a design environment that simplifies the mapping of complex end-user workflows to energy-optimized heterogeneous hardware with a focus on FPGA-accelerated systems. In this presentation, I’ll show what we have already accomplished, and discuss the challenges ahead of us within and beyond the EVEREST project.
Short Bio:
Christoph Hagleitner leads the "Heterogeneous Cognitive Computing Systems" group at the IBM Research – Zurich Lab (ZRL) in Ruschlikon, Switzerland. The group focuses on heterogeneous computing systems for cloud datacenters and HPC. Applications include big-data analytics and cognitive computing. He obtained a diploma degree in Electrical Engineering from ETH, Zurich, Switzerland in 1997 and a Ph.D. degree for a thesis on CMOS-integrated Microsensors from ETH, Zurich, Switzerland in 2002. In 2003 he joined IBM Research to work on the system architecture of a novel probe-storage device (“millipede”-project). In 2008, he started to build up a new research group in the area of accelerator technologies. The team initially focused on on-chip accelerator cores and gradually expanded its research to heterogeneous systems and their applications.
