SUMMARY:Shannon Inspired Statistical Computing
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Naresh R. Shanbhag (Uiversity of Illinois at Urbana-Ch
 ampaign\n414 Coordinated Science Laboratory\n1308\, West Main Street\nUrba
 na\, IL 61801-2307\nUnited States of America)\n\nAbstract: \nAbstract: Moo
 re's Law has been the driving force behind the exponential growth in the s
 emiconductor industry for the past five decades years. Today\, energy effi
 ciency and reliability challenges in nanoscale CMOS (and beyond CMOS) proc
 esses threaten the continuation of Moore's Law. This talk will describe ou
 r work on developing a Shannon-inspired statistical information processing
  that seeks to address this issue by treating the problem of computing on 
 unreliable devices and circuits as one of information transfer over an unr
 eliable/noisy channel. Such a paradigm seeks to transform computing from i
 ts von Neumann roots in data processing to Shannon-inspired information pr
 ocessing. Key elements of this paradigm are the use of statistical signal 
 processing\, machine learning principles\, equalization and error-control\
 , for designing error-resilient on-chip computation\, communication\, stor
 age\, and mixed-signal analog front-ends. The talk will provide a historic
 al perspective and demonstrate examples of Shannon-inspired designs of on-
 chip subsystems.  This talk will conclude with a brief overview of the Sy
 stems On Nanoscale Information fabriCs (SONIC) Center\, a multi-university
  research center based at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\,
  focused on developing a Shannon/brain-inspired foundation for information
  processing on CMOS and beyond CMOS nanoscale fabrics.\n\nBio: Naresh R. S
 hanbhag is the Jack Kilby Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering
  in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Universit
 y of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His research interests are in the desig
 n of robust and energy-efficient integrated circuits and systems for commu
 nications including VLSI architectures for error-control coding\, and equa
 lization\, noise-tolerant integrated circuit design\, error-resilient arch
 itectures and systems\, and system-assisted mixed-signal design. Dr. Shanb
 hag received the 2010 Richard Newton GSRC Industrial Impact Award\, became
  an IEEE Fellow in 2006\, received the 2006 IEEE Journal of Solid-State Ci
 rcuits Best Paper Award\, the 2001 IEEE Transactions on VLSI Best Paper Aw
 ard\, the 1999 IEEE Leon K. Kirchmayer Best Paper Award\, the 1999 Xerox F
 aculty Award\, the Distinguished Lecturership from the IEEE Circuits and S
 ystems Society in 1997\, the National Science Foundation CAREER Award in 1
 996\, and the 1994 Darlington Best Paper Award from the IEEE Circuits and 
 Systems Society.\n\nDr. Shanbhag is serving as an Associate Editor for the
  IEEE Journal on Exploratory Solid-State Computation Devices and Circuits 
 (2014-16)\, served as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transaction on Circ
 uits and Systems: Part II (97-99) and the IEEE Transactions on VLSI (99-02
  and 09-11)\, respectively.  He was the General Chair of the 2013 IEEE Wo
 rkshop on Signal Processing Systems\, the General co-Chair of the 2012 IEE
 E International Symposium on Low-Power Design (ISLPED)\, the Technical Pro
 gram co-Chair of the 2010 ISLPED\, and served on the technical program (wi
 reline subcommittee) committee of the International Solid-State Circuits C
 onference (ISSCC) from 2007-11. Since January 2013\, he is the founding Di
 rector of the Systems On Nanoscale Information fabriCs (SONIC) Center\, a 
 5-year multi-university center funded by DARPA and SRC under the STARnet p
 hase of FCRP. In 2000\, Dr. Shanbhag co-founded and served as the Chief Te
 chnology Officer of Intersymbol Communications\, Inc.\, a venture-funded f
 abless semiconductor start-up that provides DSP-enhanced mixed-signal ICs 
 for electronic dispersion compensation of OC-192 optical links. In 2007\, 
 Intersymbol Communications\, Inc.\, was acquired by Finisar Corporation\, 
 Inc..\n
