Autorenporträt
Christoforos Kachris is a Senior Research Associate at Institute of Communication and Computer Systems (ICCS) - National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) and assistant Professor at Democritus University of Thrace. From 2016 till 2019 he was the Technical Project Manager of VINEYARD EC-funded project that envisioned the adoption of FPGAs in the data centers for cloud computing applications and the emerging market of acceleration-as-a-service. Christoforos received his Ph.D. in computer engineering in 2007 from the Technical University of Delft, The Netherlands in 2008 and the diploma and the M.Sc. in Electronic and Computer Engineering from the Technical University of Crete, Greece in 2001 and 2003 respectively. In 2006 he was a research intern at Xilinx Research Labs, San Jose, CA, working at the Networks Group. From 2009 till 2010 he was a visiting lecturer at University of Crete and a visiting researcher at FORTH where he coordinated the Interconnects cluster of High Performance Embedded Architectures and Compilers (HiPEAC). From 2010 till 2015 he was senior research associate at Athens Information Technology (AIT). He has more than 16 years of experience on development of hardware accelerators (FPGA, reconfigurable computing) and more than 8 years' experience on technical project management of competitive European and National research projects (mainly for multi-million international European funder research projects). Babak Falsafi is a Professor in the Computer & Communication Sciences department at Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL). He is the founding director of the EcoCloud research center targeting energy-efficient and environmentally friendly cloud technologies. His research interests are primarily centered around computer systems with emphasis on techniques for integration, specialization and approximation (ISA) to improve efficiency in datacenters, design for emerging technologies and design evaluation methodologies for servers. Dimitrios Soudris received his Diploma in Electrical Engineering from the University of Patras, Greece, in 1987. He received the Ph.D. Degree in Electrical Engineering, from the University of Patras in 1992. He was working as a Professor in Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Democritus University of Thrace for thirteen years since 1995. He is currently working as Associate Professor in School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Dept. Computer Science of National Technical University of Athens, Greece. His research interests include embedded systems design, reconfigurable architectures, reliability and low power VLSI design. He has published more than 340 papers in international journals and conferences. Also, he is coauthor/coeditor in seven books of Kluwer and Springer. He is leader and principal investigator in numerous research projects funded from the Greek Government and Industry, European Commission (ESPRIT II-III-IV and5th & 7th IST), ENIAC-JU and European Space Agency. He has served as General Chair and Program Chair for PATMOS 99 and 2000, respectively, General Chair of IFIP-VLSI-SOC 2008 and General Co-Chair of PARMA Workshop 2013. Also, he received an award from INTEL and IBM for the EU project LPGD 25256, awards in ASP-DAC 05 and VLSI 05 for EU AMDREL project IST-2001-34379.
Rezensionen
"The presented research includes discussions of the advantages, limitations, and scope of the proposed solutions. The references given at the end of every chapter offer scope for further reading. The presented work will enlighten readers about the ongoing research, tools and platforms used, available solutions, limitations, and underlying challenges; interested readers can use it to build their own research."
