Name:Grigori Fursin

Bio:

I am the CTO and co-founder of dividiti, Chief Scientist of the cTuning Foundation (non-profit research organization) and a founding member of the ACM Task Force on Data, Software, and Reproducibility in Publication. I have an interdisciplinary background in computer engineering, physics, neural networks, quantum electronics and machine learning with a PhD in computer science from the University of Edinburgh (2004).

I lead research and development for an open Collective Knowledge platform (CK) to co-design efficient software, hardware and model stack for emerging workloads including deep learning and quantum computing in terms of speed, accuracy, energy and various costs across diverse data sets and platforms from IoT to data centers and Exascale supercomputers. CK platform helps leading companies and universities survive in a Cambrian AI/SW/HW explosion, quickly prototype and automate AI experiments from shared and optimized components available in the CK repository similar to LEGO(tm), perform competitive analysis of new AI solutions, reduce all R&D costs, accelerate AI research, and enable efficient brain-inspired computing:
