The 3rd Revolution in Computing Has Just Begun: Connecting the Physical World to the Power of the Digital World
Samuel H. Fuller, CTO Emeritus and Distinguished Scientist, Analog Devices Inc.
ABSTRACT — Half a century of Moore’s Law has resulted in computing and communication systems of incredible power. As a consequence, we are now beginning the third revolution in which digital processing is beginning to be embedded in devices and systems all around us. While this is enabling fascinating
possibilities such as autonomous vehicles, new approaches to healthcare and more efficient industrial infrastructure, it also must address new and difficult technical challenges. Some of these challenges include radical improvement in wireless communication, powering the trillions of embedded devices with Nano or Picowatts rather than Milliwatts, and creating robust security for networked systems of embedded devices.
Moreover, these challenges can no longer depend on the exponential scaling of Moore’s Law that had been provided by the Dennard Scaling of CMOS. Alternative technologies from new semiconducting materials to new processor architectures in support of advanced algorithms are required and will be discussed in the seminar.
BIO — Dr. Fuller is the Chief Technology Officer (CTO)
Emeritus and Distinguished Scientist at Analog Devices
Inc. As CTO, he led the technology strategy, established
the Analog Garage, an advanced technology design
center, and directed other R&D programs in the U.S. and
Asia. He currently has an appointment as a Research
Scientist at MIT, participating in joint MIT-ADI research
projects.
Prior to joining ADI in 1998, Dr. Fuller was Vice President
of Research and Chief Scientist of Digital Equipment
Corporation, where he established and led Digital’s
research laboratories that led to innovations in RISC
computers, network processors, and Internet search
engines.
In the 1970s, Dr. Fuller was an Associate Professor of
Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at Carnegie
Mellon University, where he lead the design and
performance evaluation of pioneering multiprocessor
computer systems.
He holds a BS degree in Electrical Engineering from the
University of Michigan and MS and PhD degrees from
Stanford University. He is an IEEE Fellow, AAAS Fellow,
and a member of the National Academy of Engineering.
He has authored over 30 technical publications and
contributed to several textbooks in Computer Science.
Dr. Fuller has served on several National Research Council
studies including “Cryptography’s Role in Securing the
Information Society” and chaired the study “The Future of
Computing Performance: Game Over or Next Level?”
