ICSA Colloquium Talk - 10/07/2025 Talk Abstract: This lecture discusses multiple fronts of optimization/improvements (hence the reference to Swiss army knife) our industry and particularly Intel is working on, to improve CPU performance. No major prerequisite knowledge is required to follow this lecture. Speaker Bio: Dr. Sundar Vedantham served as Director of Software Development in the Network and Edge Group (NEX) of Intel Corporation in Allentown, PA. He is an Adjunct Professor at VIT, Chennai, India. His skillset and experience cover a wide range of telecommunication related domains. His team delivered highly optimized software layers that drive silicon hardware accelerators, designed to aid mobile and cloud networks. He joined Lucent Technologies a couple of decades back and has travelled through various incarnations of his division to eventually become part of Intel Corporation. His research interests include network traffic and congestion management, high-speed networking, security, and theoretical computer models, areas in which he holds patents and has published papers, book chapters & articles. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Louisiana State University. In his early years he worked in a Helicopter Design Bureau and served two years as a maintenance engineer in an offshore Oil & Gas platform. He enjoys writing articles in English and Tamil to help improve public understanding of the technical details behind the fields he has worked on and to attract young students to get into STEM fields. As part of this effort, he has published a book titled Thought Experiments available online to help anyone from high school students onwards understand complex ideas embedded in fields like Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, Ethics, Democracy and Medicine.
