HOT CHIPS 10: Advance Program August 16-18, 1998
H O T C H I P S 1 0
A Symposium on High-Performance Chips
August 16-18, 1997 Memorial Auditorium,
Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA
Hot Chips 10 brings together designers and architects of
high-performance chips, software, and systems. Presentations focus on
up-to-the-minute real developments. This symposium is the primary forum
for engineers and researchers to highlight their leading-edge designs.
Three full days of tutorials and technical sessions will keep you on
top of the industry.
========================================
Sunday August 16
========================================
Morning Tutorial:
Intellectual Property Law as Applied to the Computer and Electronics
Industries
Margaret Jane Radin
William Benjamin Scott & Luna M. Scott Professor of Law
Stanford Law School
The tutorial will outline the basics of the traditional forms of legal
protection of intellectual property (patents, trademarks, copyrights
and trade secrets) and describe some of the issues posed by
developments in information technology and the global networked
environment. We will consider how intellectual property protection is
established, how it functions in practice, and what happens when
intellectual property rights are infringed. We will look at not only
the different principles of each form of protection, but also how their
boundaries are delineated, and where those boundaries are blurred (e.g.
copyright vs. patenting of software.) We will also consider how
economic factors relate to the extent of intellectual property
protection, and we will consider the significance of non-property (the
public domain) for the comp etitive marketplace and for future
invention.
========================================
Afternoon Tutorial
Fast CPUs Are Good ... but Fast I/O is Better
Speaker: Silicon Graphics Peripherals Team
Fast microprocessors need large storage and fast I/O. This tutorial
will include overviews of various I/O technologies, how they fit
togehter, and where they seem to be going, including peripheral
connections, disks, removables, and performance issues.
1) Overview of the various technologies, how they fit together,
and where they are going.
2) Survey of peripheral connections, e.g. SCSI, FibreChannel, 1394
3) Disk technologies
History, specifications, technologies, capacities, bandwidths,
latencies
Fixed and removables
Near-term futures
4) CDROMs, DVD, etc
5) Tapes
6) Real problems or "your mileage may vary"
Peak numbers vs. real numbers
real case studies of extreme I/O demands
