지난 50여년간 실리콘 디바이스 스케일링을 통해 IT 산업의 지속적인 성장을 견인하였던 무어의 법칙이 끝나가면서, 아키텍처, 소프트웨어등 소위 “above-silicon” 기술의 혁신이 그 어느 때보다 중요해졌다. 본 강연에서는 이러한 무어의 한계를 극복하기 위한 컴퓨터 시스템 연구의 동향을 소개하고, 하드웨어와 소프트웨어를 아우르는 통합 연구의 중요성에 대해 논의한다. 또한, 이와 관련하여 아키텍처 및 코드 최적화 연구실(Architecture and Code Optimization Lab)에서 진행되고 있는 최근 연구를 함께 소개한다.

Jae W. Lee is an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Seoul National University (SNU), Korea. His research areas include computer architecture, compilers, and parallel computing, and he has co-authored more than 50 research papers in these areas. His work has been recognized with two test-of-time awards (IEEE VLSI Symposium 2017, ACM ASPLOS 2014), and several top/highlights papers (ACM ASPLOS 2017, IEEE PACT 2010, IEEE/ACM MICRO 2010). Before joining SNU, he was an assistant professor of Semiconductor Systems Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU), Korea. Prior to that, he was a research associate at Princeton University, and a researcher and engineer at Parakinetics, Inc. (Princeton, NJ), where he conducted research on multicore software optimization. He received his M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University and Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from MIT.
