In this episode, William Chappell, CTO and CVP of Microsoft Discovery and Quantum, shares insights from a career spanning academia, DARPA, and industry, exploring the intersection of AI, quantum computing, and scientific discovery. He discusses how emerging technologies are reshaping engineering, accelerating innovation, and redefining the future of design automation.

In this episode, we interview Jeff Wittich, Chief Product Officer at Ampere. Learn about his journey up the hardware stack from Process Engineer to Product Officer, how the Innovator’s Dilemma led to the founding of Ampere, and how this will impact the next generation of AI.

This DACCast episode interviews Dr. Mark Tehranipoor about the vital and complex field of hardware and microelectronics security. The discussion focuses on the challenges of supply chain trust and protecting integrated circuits from security vulnerabilities and malicious hardware Trojans.

Sarita Adve (University of Illinois) is interviewed by Host Erik Seligman (Cadence Design Systems) and Co-Host Rich Edelman (Siemens). Please click to listen.

Welcome back to the DAC-Cast Podcast!

The hosts are here today to interview Gary Patton, Vice President of Intel. Subscribe and listen as DAC-Casters hear incredible insights from an important leader in the industry.

Thank you for joining us this past July in San Francisco for 60DAC. Here are a few highlights of the of the milestone 60th year.

Just over a week before DAC, the DAC-Cast hosts return with another episode.. this time with none-other-than Kurt Keutzer. In 1998 Kurt became Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of California at Berkeley and recently, Kurt’s research focuses on systems issues associated with the application of Deep Learning to computer vision, speech recognition, natural language processing, and finance. No stranger to DAC or the EDA community, Kurt has published six books, over 250 refereed articles, and is among the most highly cited authors in Hardware and Design Automation. Kurt was elected a Fellow of the IEEE in 1996. At the 50th Design Automation Conference Kurt received a number of awards reflecting achievements over the 50 year history of the conference. These included “Top Ten Cited Author” and “Top Ten Cited Paper.” He was also recognized as among one of only three people to have received four Best Paper Awards in the history of the conference. Kurt's research on Deep Learning has also received Best Paper Awards at the Embedded Vision Workshop and at the International Conference on Parallel Processing.
