Research Frontiers in The Clouds, Many-Core and Internet of Things
|
In this talk, Dr. Hwang will address several research frontiers for exploiting massive parallelism in many-core GPU clusters, effective data protection in Internet clouds, and innovative applications on clouds, datacenters, and the Internet of things (IoT). He will cover the issues of ubiquity, scalability, performance, efficiency, and availability in both HPC (high-performance computing) and HTC (high-throughput computing) systems. He will assess the roles of virtualization in clouds and the sensing and tracking technologies in IoT development. The success theories of Tianhe-1A, some public and private clouds, and privacy protection in social networks will be discussed. Recent research advances in these areas will be assessed with suggestions for future research challenges and large-scale system development.

Cyber-Individual: Visions and Challenges
|
We are facing the emerging digital explosions from information explosion, connection explosion, and service explosion to intelligence explosion. To help people live better in such digitally explosive environment, this talk present our vision of Cyber-Individual (Cyber-I) in the cyber world. A Cyber-I is the counterpart, comprehensive digital description of a Real Individual (Real-I). The Cyber-I is aimed at individual human essence, digital existence, and capability extension in the hyper world. The Cyber-I study emphasizes on human’s individual differences with different CI-Mind models which distinguish individual’s different ways of thinking, emotion, personality, character, behavior, preference, and etc. Like a human being, a Cyber-I has its ‘life’ through birth, growth, and death. With CI-Applications as bridges, a cyber-I eventually approximates to its Real-I and symbiotically evolve together with its Real-I as a telepathic partner in the hyper world. With a comprehensive digital description of individual human, a Cyber-I based personalized service system exhibits the advantages over other personalized service systems in terms of better quality of service, enhanced privacy protection, and efficient use of shared resource like Cyber-I. The Cyber-I study is a multi- and inter- disciplinary research field, which requires a cooperative aggregation of a variety of existing, being developed, and to be developed advanced technologies from many different fields of research.

When Amdahl’s Law Faces the Memory-Wall: What is the Scalability?
|
Technology advances are increasingly unbalanced in the past few years. CPU performance has been improving in a much faster pace than that of memory technologies, which led to the so-called memory-wall problem. Multicore architectures have put even more pressure on memory subsystem. As a result, data access delay becomes the killing factor of performance for both sequential and parallel computing systems. Although technology is available, major vendors are hesitant in making processors that have a massive number of cores. This is a very interesting phenomenon, where history seems to repeat itself on the scalability debate of parallel processing that occurred 20 years ago. In this keynote talk we first review the history and concepts of scalable computing, and review the current technologies and the memory-wall problem. We then introduce two multicore performance models from the scalable computing point of view. These models show that there is no inherent, immovable upper bound on the scalability of multicore architectures. Finally, from the data-centric point-of-view we introduce new ways of evaluating memory subsystem and algorithms, and propose solutions to mitigate the memory-wall problem in modern computing systems.

International Collaboration for Privacy and Information Security
|
The safe and secure cyber society can sustainably grow with equally important three keys : security technology, management, and culture. However, the culture has been somewhat neglected compared to the other keys. In particular, collaboration, one element of cultural practice, has not been well-practiced and limited to domestic matters in many countries.
Now, the widespread use of Internet and mobiles raises many world-wide collaboration issues because of the borderless trades and activities. In this talk, I will touch upon the severeness of security incidents and suggest response strategies to those incidents. Then, the reasons to build strong collaboration among international economies will be addressed.
