Utility computing

During the mid-1970’s, computers were extremely expensive, outrageously enormous, and most importantly lacked personal convenience. Unlike today’s society, people couldn’t walk around with a device small enough to fit in their pocket but capable of accessing their entire life with just a click of a button. However, one man by the name of Steve Jobs had a major contribution to the uprising of computer technology and its personal usage. He was unlike many others and because of his work, many…

I am applying to graduate school to explore how best to physically implement computation and how best to pass on what I learn to others. As physical devices get pushed to their limits, new design paradigms have begun to emerge across the spectrum of hardware architectures. This spectrum spans from prominent software-programmable devices, such as many-core CPUs and modern GPUs, to hardware-programmable technologies such as FPGAs. I am fascinated with the design challenges inherent in these and…
