We are pleased to announce our three inspirational keynote speakers, and that early-bird registration for the Arm Research Summit 2019 is now open! Now in its fourth year, the Summit will be coming to the USA for the first time, between 15-18 September. This year’s event will take place in Austin, Texas – a city which has long held technology and innovation at its heart.
We look forward to welcoming researchers, academics and industry experts from around the world to discuss and debate the latest developments and research challenges, and how we can work together to find viable solutions.
As well as our keynote speakers, the program will feature presentations, workshops, and demos across multiple tracks, together with plenty of opportunities for delegates to network and discuss their own projects and research ideas.
Kunle Olukotun is the Cadence Design Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Stanford University. Olukotun is well known as a pioneer in multicore processor design and the leader of the Stanford Hydra chip multiprocessor (CMP) research project. Olukotun founded Afara Websystems to develop high-throughput, low-power multicore processors for server systems. The Afara multicore processor, called Niagara, was acquired by Sun Microsystems. Niagara derived processors now power all Oracle SPARC-based servers. Olukotun currently directs the Stanford Pervasive Parallelism Lab (PPL), which seeks to proliferate the use of heterogeneous parallelism in all application areas using Domain Specific Languages (DSLs). Olukotun is a member of the Data Analytics for What’s Next (DAWN) Lab which is developing infrastructure for usable machine learning. Olukotun is an ACM Fellow and IEEE Fellow for contributions to multiprocessors on a chip and multi-threaded processor design and is the recipient of of the 2018 IEEE Harry H. Goode Memorial Award. Olukotun received his Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from The University of Michigan.

Dr. Rich Wolski is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) and co-founder of Eucalyptus Systems Inc. Having received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of California at Davis (while a research scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) he has also held positions at the University of California, San Diego, and the University of Tennessee, the San Diego Supercomputer Center and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Rich has led several national scale research efforts in the area of distributed systems and is the progenitor of the Eucalyptus open source cloud project.
In his keynote, Rich will discuss research challenges associated with building and deploying cloud software infrastructure for “The Internet of Things,” and experiences with a new approach that attempts to unify device, edge, and cloud data center hardware and software components.
"Participating in the Arm Research Summit, for me, is an invaluable opportunity to share and discuss the innovations that will bring about the next technology disruption with future-focused leaders from industry, academia, and the commercial sector. I am excited to learn from this research community about new approaches and emerging research opportunities as well as to share some of our work and the views of the future it has engendered.”
Matthew Scholl is the Chief of the Computer Security Division in the Information Technology Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). His responsibilities include cryptographic standards used by the US Government and internationally, Cybersecurity Research and Development at NIST, and Cybersecurity Standards and Guidelines for Federal Agency Security Programs. He also leads NIST participation with Cybersecurity National and Internationals Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) and associated conformance testing programs.
Mr. Scholl has a Masters Degree and Bachelors Degrees in computer science and information systems from the University Of Maryland and the University of Richmond. He is a US Army veteran and currently has over 20 years of federal service.
Matthew's keynote will explore how we are facing times of change in IT. With many disruptions, both good and bad, he will share what NIST is doing in the near term to prepare the US Government and their standards participation to meet these changes. How will the advent of quantum machines change our security and our infrastructures, and how do we prepare?
"Outreach, communications and listening to the tech community is a critical part of the NIST mission. Speaking, attending and meeting stakeholders at the Arm Research Summit is an essential part of NIST accomplishing that part of our mission."
We hope you can join us for our first US Summit this September. Don't miss out on this unique research event - limited tickets are available!
