Prof. Babak Falsafi was interviewed for the Computer Architecture Podcast.
This fascinating show is hosted by Dr. Suvinay Subramanian, an organizer of EPFL-hosted conference ASPLOS 2022, who is a computer architect at Google in the Systems Infrastructure group, working on designing Google’s machine learning accelerators (TPU); and Dr. Lisa Hsu, who is semi-retired and works part-time in Reality Labs Research at Meta on optics and display technologies for AR – and can recite all 50 US states in alphabetical order in less than 20 seconds.
Many questions are addressed in this discussion:
- What gets Babak Falsafi up in the morning? (learning Italian)
- Are you wasting electricity in datacenters? (measure your IT efficiency to find out)
- How do you get isolation where there is multi-tenancy without using the operating system? (you will have listen to the podcast for this one)
