DESCRIPTION:Seismic Shifts: Challenges and Opportunities in the Post ISA Era of Computer Systems Design

SUMMARY:For decades, Moores Law and its partner Dennard Scaling have together enabled exponential computer systems performance improvements at manageable power dissipation. With the slowing of Moore/Dennard improvements, designers have turned to a range of approaches for extending scaling of computer systems performance and power efficiency. These include specialized accelerators and heterogeneous parallelism. Unfortunately, the scaling gains afforded by these techniques come with significant costs: increased hardware and software complexity, degraded programmability and portability, and increased likelihood of design errors and security vulnerabilities. The long-held hardware-software abstraction offered by the Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) interface is fading quickly in this post-ISA era. The talk will cover a range of design opportunities and challenges, with a particular emphasis on my groups recent work on automated full-stack verification, security analysis, and the surprising alignments between full-stack issues in both classical and quantum computing systems.
