Future of AI Hardware Panel Dave Patterson, Bryan Catanzaro, Andrew Feldman, & Cade Metz

Dave Patterson, Bryan Catanzaro, Andrew Feldman and Cade Metz discuss the future of AI Hardware; how the immense computational requirements of AI are driving investment in new hardware models: GPUs, ASICs, TPUs, and more; and how this competition is poised to deliver us into a new Golden Age of Computer Architecture.

Panelists
Dave Patterson (Google Brain, UC Berkeley)
Bryan Catanzaro (VP, Applied Deep Learning Research at NVIDIA)
Andrew Feldman (CEO @ Cerebras Systems)

Moderated by Cade Metz (NYT)

David Patterson is likely best-known for the book Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach written with John Hennessy or for Berkeley research projects Reduced Instruction Set Computers (RISC), Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks (RAID), and Network of Workstations. He also served as Berkeley’s CS Division Chair, the Computing Research Association Chair, and President of the Association for Computing Machinery. This led to election to the National Academy of Engineering, the National Academy of Sciences, and the Silicon Valley Engineering Hall of Fame. He received the Berkeley Citation in 2016 after 40 years as a CS professor. He then joined the Google Brain as a distinguished engineer and serves as Vice-Chair of the Board of Directors of the RISC-V Foundation, an open architecture organization.

Bryan Catanzaro is VP of Applied Deep Learning Research at NVIDIA, where he solves interesting problems from video games to chip design using deep learning. Prior to this, Bryan worked at Baidu with Adam Coates and Andrew Ng to create next generation systems for training and deploying end-to-end deep learning based speech recognition. Before that, Bryan was a researcher at NVIDIA, where he worked on programming models for parallel processors, as well as libraries for deep learning, which culminated in the creation of CUDNN.

Andrew Feldman is a co-founder and CEO of Cerebras Systems, a venture-backed stealth-mode startup located in Los Altos, California. Andrew is proud to lead a team of phenomenal people with a track record of building products that profoundly changed the largest markets in tech. Prior to co-founding Cerebras Systems, Andrew was co-founder and CEO of SeaMicro. SeaMicro (acquired by AMD for $355 million) was the pioneer in low power server technology. SeaMicro changed the trajectory of the server industry by inventing the high density, lower power, microserver category.

Cade Metz is a reporter with The New York Times, covering artificial intelligence, driverless cars, robotics, virtual reality, and other ways the world is changing. He recently published a Times feature story on the rise of AI hardware.
