Keynote Speakers
Vaugh Betz, University of Toronto
Bio: Vaughn Betz (Fellow, IEEE) co-founded Right Track computer-aided design (CAD), Toronto, ON, Canada, to develop new FPGA architectures and CAD tools and was its VP of Engineering until its acquisition by Altera in 2000. From 2000 to 2011, he was with Altera, ultimately as a Senior Director of Software Engineering, and is one of the architects of both the Quartus II CAD system and the Stratix I–V and Cyclone I–V FPGAs. He is currently a Professor and the NSERC/Intel Industrial Research Chair in Programmable Silicon with the University of Toronto, Toronto, where his research covers FPGA architecture, CAD, and acceleration of computation using FPGAs
Shouyi Yin, Tsinghua University
Bio: Shouyi Yin (Member, IEEE) received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in electronic engineering from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, in 2000, 2002, and 2005, respectively.,He was a Research Associate with Imperial College London, London, U.K. He is currently a Full Professor and the Vice-Director of the School of Integrated Circuits, Tsinghua University. He has published more than 100 journal articles and more than 50 conference papers. His research interests include reconfigurable computing, artificial intelligence (AI) processors, and high-level synthesis.,Dr. Yin has served as a Technical Program Committee Member for the top very-large-scale-integration (VLSI) and electronic design automation (EDA) conferences, such as Asian Solid-State Circuits Conference (A-SSCC), IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Microarchitecture (MICRO), Design Automation Conference (DAC), International Conference on Computer-Aided Design (ICCAD), and Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference (ASP-DAC). He is also an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems—I: Regular Papers (TCAS-I), ACM Transactions on Reconfigurable Technology and Systems (TRETS), and Integration, the VLSI Journal.
