Hi all,

Our next speaker is Michael James from Cerebras Systems. The talk will take
place at *AA5340, April 21, 13:45*. Hope to see many of you there!

*Title:* Continuous Propagation and Computer Architectures Specialized for
Deep Learning

*Abstract: *I will be discussing a novel computing platform designed for
training deep neural models, and highlight Continuous Propagation, which is
one of the new learning algorithms that it makes possible. Continuous
Propagation is a training technique that allows layer-parallelism: training
for deep models is parallelized along the depth of the network. The
technique is motivated by the continuous differential formulation of
learning and has relations to biologically plausible learning. Cerebras
Systems is building a next generation system, purpose designed for sparse
linear algebra and large stochastic optimization problems.

*Bio: *I am a founder and Chief Software Architect at Cerebras Systems, a
venture-backed stealth mode startup located in Los Altos, California. Prior
to founding Cerebras Systems, I was lead SW Architect at SeaMicro (acquired
by AMD for $357 million). I was responsible for the distributed system
software that among other things, did placement and work allocation for the
more than 16,000 cores in a SeaMicro solution. Post acquisition, I was an
AMD Fellow and worked as a hardware and software architect. At AMD, I
designed a novel distributed high-availability compute architecture base on
cellular automata. Career highlights include: Platform Architect, Kno Inc,
where I designed gesture recognition algorithms. Chief Architect, MultiLing
Corp, where I designed machine translation software using fuzzy logic. I
have designed operating systems, compilers, real-time feedback control
systems, signal processing, and recognition systems. I hold patents in
computer architecture and distributed algorithms. My alma mater is
University of California at Berkeley where I studied Molecular
Neurobiology, Mathematics, and Computer Science.
