KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
ACM SIGMETRICS/Performance 2012
Joint International Conference on Measurement
and Modeling of Computer Systems
http://www.sigmetrics.org/sigmetrics2012/
Imperial College London
11 and 15 June 2012, London, United Kingdom
The organisers are pleased to announce that two keynote talks will be
given on the first and second days of the main conference, on the 12th
and 13th of June 2012. The speakers are Naresh Patel, Technical
Director, Netapp Inc, USA and Zhen Liu, Head of Nokia Research Growth
Economies Laboratory, China. Their details appear below; keep watching
the conference web site (above) for up-to-date details.
DR. NARESH PATEL is currently a Technical Director for Performance
Engineering at NetApp Inc. in Sunnyvale, California, where he analyses
and models the performance of caching and storage architectures. Prior
to his 12 years at NetApp, he held leadership positions in research and
development at Tandem Computers Inc. and Compaq Inc. (now part of
Hewlett Packard). He obtained his Ph.D. in Computing Science from
Imperial College London in 1989, following a B.Sc. (First Class with
Honours) in Computing Science in 1986, and co-authored a book on
performance modeling with Peter Harrison in 1992. Since moving into
industry he has continued to pursue his interest in researching
techniques for performance analysis and modeling applicable to new
technologies, resulting in several papers in both international
conferences and top-tier journals, as well as novel performance-related
components in systems software.
KEYNOTE TITLE: Performance Implications of Storage Class Memory
