  ECE Distinguished Seminar with Prof. Deming Chen - October 5

  Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE)

  2:00 PM L440, Technological Institute

  EVENT DETAILS

  Prof. Deming Chen is the Abel Bliss Professor of the Grainger College of Engineering at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). His current research interests include reconfigurable computing, hybrid cloud, system-level design methodologies, machine learning and acceleration, and hardware security. In this talk, Dr. Chen will present some new concepts and research results that demonstrate initial promises to overcome these challenges, including shared virtual memory system for computing with FPGAs, scalable high-level synthesis for FPGA programming, and trusted execution environment with accelerators. These results are developed within the AMD-Xilinx Center of Excellence and the Hybrid-Cloud Thrust of the IBM-Illinois Discovery Accelerator Institute at UIUC.

  ECE Seminar with Prof. Ren - Byzantine Fault Tolerance with Dynamic Participation

  Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE)

  11:00 AM L440, Technological Institute

  EVENT DETAILS

  Ling Ren is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Prior to joining the University of Illinois, he obtained his Ph.D. from MIT and worked at VMware Research. His research interests include security, cryptography, and distributed algorithms. In this talk, I will present a protocol that simultaneously supports dynamic participation and achieves constant latency. The core technique is to extend the classic BFT approach from static quorum size to dynamic quorum size, i.e., according to the current participation level, while preserving important properties of static quorums. Joint work with Atsuki Momose.
