题 目:Reconfigurable acceleration of genomic data analysis 报告人:Professor Wayne Luk (英国帝国理工) 时 间:2016年4月13日下午1:30-3:30 地 点:张江校区微电子楼269室 Abstract This talk presents recent advances in accelerating the analysis of genomic data, making use of reconfigurable data flow engines based on Field Programmable Gate Arrays. Applications include speeding up bisulfite sequence alignment for prenatal and cancer diagnosis. The potential of this approach will be summarised. Biography Dr Wayne Luk is Professor of Computer Engineering at Imperial College London. He founded and leads the Computer Systems Section and the Custom Computing Group in Department of Computing, and was Visiting Professor at Stanford University and Queen's University Belfast. His research interests include reconfigurable computing, field-programmable technology, and design automation. He developed hardware compilation techniques based on syntax-directed translation, pipeline vectorization, and source-level transformation; he contributed to optimizations for run-time reconfiguration, custom instruction processors, and programmable embedded-block architecture for field-programmable devices. He received many awards at international conferences, including FPL (2004, 2007, 2008, 2010), ERSA (2004), FPT (2005, 2008), ASAP (2008), SAMOS (2008), and SPL (2008, 2009). He led a team winning two Platform Grants from UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, and a Research Excellence Award from Imperial College. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and a Fellow of the BCS. He received his MA, MSc and DPhil degrees from University of Oxford. |
