Keynote Speaker-1 The SpiNNaker Project:
Past, Present and Future? Prof Steve Furber/Dr Simon Davidson Senior Research Fellow Advance Processor Technologies Group School of Computer Science, The
University of Manchester, UK. Email: simon.davidson@manchester.ac.uk
SpiNNaker was developed at The University of Manchester as a massively-parallel yet low-power architecture optimised for the simulation of spiking neural networks of cortical scale. The project is ongoing, with software development and platform maintenance currently supported by the EU-funded Human Brain Project (HBP). In this talk, I will provide a quick reminder of the goals and key design features of SpiNNaker before bringing you up to speed on the current state of the project, covering both the physical construction of a one million processor SpiNNaker toroid within our department and the software stack that allows users to remotely submit jobs to access time on this computing resource. SpiNNaker is now being used by researchers all over the world - and not just for spiking neural networks! I will talk about what we and others have been doing with SpiNNaker and where we expect these ideas to lead. In the final part of the talk, I will look to the future of SpiNNaker, putting it in context with other neuromorphic platforms that have emerged in recent years. I will conclude with a peek at how the lessons we have learned from SpiNNaker are being used to design our next generation SpiNNaker-2 chip, in collaboration with TU Dresden. Biography
Graduating in Electronic Engineering from the University of Sheffield (UK) in 1989, he began a PhD in neural networks before relegating this to a part-time activity to become an RA developing SoCs for image processing. He spent ten years in industry: in the early 1990s at SGS-Thomson he worked on their Chameleon project, helping to develop a 64-bit superscalar processor for set top boxes. After a few years at Hewlett Packard and after finally finishing his PhD, he returned to the UK to join ARC International (a small London-based processor IP start-up) where he led the development of the ARC-TangentA5 processor and co-developed the ARCompact instruction set. His doctoral research into neural memory took him back to academia in 2005, with time at York University leading to his current position at Manchester. Currently employed on an EU-funded ERC Advanced grant held by Prof Steve Furber, his main research interest include the development of large spiking neural networks implementing high capacity associative memory that is both robust and reliable and the mechanisms for both representation and computation using simple spikes. = = = Keynote Speaker-2 Dynamic Interpolative
Modelling and its Application to Intrusion Detection Prof Qiang Shen Director, Institute of
Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science Aberystwyth University, Wales,
UK. Email: qqs@aber.ac.uk Intrusion
detection systems (IDSs) are considered as a popular and effective security
tool for generating alerts to network administrators, in order to inform
possible or existing threats. A standard IDS may not be very effective or
even unsuitable for an organisational requirements over a sustained period.
This talk will present an application of D-FRI for building an effective IDS.
In particular, it will introduce an intelligent IDS that is built upon the
most popular open source IDS, Snort via integration with D-FRI. The talk will
illustrate the results that the integration of D-FRI with Snort provides an
additional level of intelligence in predicting possible threats. This
integration also facilitates dynamic modelling, in terms of a dynamic fuzzy
rule base, by promoting new rules based on the current network traffic
conditions, helping Snort to reduce both false positives and false negatives. Biography
Current research interests of Professor Shen include: computational intelligence, learning and reasoning under uncertainty, pattern recognition, data modelling and analysis, and their applications for intelligent decision support (e.g., space exploration, crime detection, consumer profiling, systems monitoring, and medical diagnosis). He has authored 2 research monographs and over 350 peer-reviewed papers, including an award-winning IEEE Outstanding Transactions paper. He has served as the first supervisor of more than 50 PDRAs/PhDs, including one UK Distinguished Dissertation Award winner. = = = Keynote Speaker-3 Beyond Big Data
Scalability: Bringing High-Performance Analytics to Processing Hardware Dr Zaid Al-Ars Associate Professor, Computer
Engineering Lab Delft University of Technology,
the Netherlands. Email: Z.Al-Ars@tudelft.nl Big data computing is rapidly
becoming the approach of choice for many scientific and commercial
applications in business analytics, bioinformatics, deep learning, etc. This
is due to the high-level of abstraction provided by big data frameworks that
allows developers to shorten development time of powerful programs able to
process vast amount of data on large computer clusters. This
ease-of-development adds much overhead to the compute infrastructure and
prevents fine-grain cluster optimizations and efficient control of compute
resources. However, the changing big data landscape is witnessing an
aggressive expansion of the target big data application domains, with new
applications serving the needs of the scientific and research community as
well as other users interested in running optimized high-performance
workloads, stretching the computational resources to their limits. This talk
discusses the sources of large overheads incurred by mainstream big data
frameworks, and how these overheads prevent the applications developed for
the high-performance computing domain from being effectively ported to these
frameworks. We also discuss methods to bridge this difference in performance
by bringing high-level big data frameworks closer to the computing hardware,
thereby enabling integration of heterogeneous computing devices, such as
FPGAs, GPUs and DSPs, into the big data framework. This offers the potential
to increase system utilization in large computing clusters, in addition to
increasing performance, thereby achieving the cost and power efficiency
needed for compute-intensive big data applications. Biography
Dr. Al-Ars is cofounder of
Bluebee, a big data company active in the intersection between genomics, high
performance computing and big data analytics. He is also the chair of the
Personalized Medicine Workgroup in the OpenPOWER Foundation, leading
industrial efforts to develop customized solutions to address the
computational challenges in precision medicine. Dr. Al-Ars has more than 100 publications
in the field of computer design and manufacturing. |

Simon
Davidson (BEng 1989, PhD 1999) has been a Research Fellow in the Advanced
Processor Technologies Group (APT) within the School of Computer Science at
the University of Manchester since 2009 and has contributed to the
development of the original SpiNNaker chip as well as the subsequent software
stack and spiking neural applications.
