July 7, 8, and 9
World-renown UT Austin Professor Yale Patt at AUT
AUT will host Dr Yale Patt from the University of Texas at Austin for a series of lectures to senior students and alumni as well as a round table discussion with computer scientists.
Dr Patt will teach our computer science students a course in Computer Micro-Architecture on July 7, 8 and 9 from 9 am to 12 pm and will have a presentation on July 8 at 5 pm to professionals in the computer industry and to deans of many universities about “The Microprocessors of 2015”. This presentation takes place at AUT Halat on July 8 at 5 pm- Issam Fares Auditorium.
Yale Patt is Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Ernest Cockrell, Jr. Centennial Chair in Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin. He has, for more than 30 years, combined an active research program with extensive consulting and a strong commitment to teaching.
Today, Yale Patt works on problems for the microprocessors of the year 2015, when technology promises each chip will contain more than ten billion transistors. Some of his current activities include Subordinate Simultaneous Microthreading (aka helper threads), a variation of Simultaneous Multithreading that is particularly useful in sequential threads of control, cluster processing, the Block-structured ISA, Selective V-way caches, Run-ahead execution, and Wish branches.
His motivated bottom-up approach is the subject of the textbook, "Introduction to Computing Systems, From Bits and Gates to C and Beyond," McGraw-Hill, 2001, ISBN: 0-07-237690-2, which he co-authored with his former PhD student Sanjay Patel.
For his teaching, he has received several awards, most notably the ACM Karl V. Karlstrom Outstanding Educator Award for 2000. He also received the 2002 Texas Excellence Teaching Award for the College of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin. Also, the 2002 Dad's Centennial Fellowship for his commitment to teaching freshmen. At Michigan, he was named Outstanding Professor of the Year by the Michigan Chapter of Eta Kappa Nu in 1992. He received the Teaching Excellence Award of the EECS Department at Michigan in 1995 and the College of Engineering of Michigan in 1996. In 1998, he was named an Arthur F. Thurnau professor at Michigan for his commitment to undergraduate education. In 1999 (for the academic year 1998-1999), and again in 2001 (for the academic year 2000-2001), he was named the National ACM Lectureship Program's Outstanding Lecturer of the Year.
