Speaker:
William O'Reilly of Mercury Computer Systems
Topic: Advances in High Speed Computing
Abstract: Innovations in computing continue to drive complexity while users are searching for the single optimized system solution. Many times, the optimal solution does not exist without sacrificing requirements. This presentation will outline the trends in computing, interconnects, and development tools from a system perspective and an application perspective from the high performance computing market. Real world examples will be discussed, showing the tradeoffs to successful designs. The first example will be from the RADAR market and how smaller, lighter, and lower power system designs dominate that market. The second example will be from the microscope stage controller market where latency and throughput dominate the designs. The third example will be a medical imaging application requiring a focus on cost and latency. Each of these examples draws from the same pool of processors, interconnects, and tools. Expect comparisons of designs, performances, costs, time-to-market, and complexity that have as much in common for the smallest embedded controllers and the fastest and most powerful systems as measured by industry-specific metrics.
Biography: William O’Reilly is the Mercury Computer Systems Business Developer for Commercial and Medical Markets. Prior to his role in Business Development, he held both account management and system engineering roles in various business groups within Mercury developing embedded solutions for the medical, commercial, and defense markets. Currently living in Genesee Depot, Wisconsin, William is a Biomedical/Electric Engineer. His technical experiences include MRI, NMR, CT, and Ultrasound and from previous work experience, expertise in the non-contact electrophysiology market. He has spent time developing RF receive chains for MRI and reconstruction hardware and software for both MRI and CT, including optimized implementations on the GPU, FPGAs, and the IBM Cell Processor.
