Chapter Leadership Team • Chair: Zhuo Li (IBM, zhuoli@ieee.org) • Vice Chair: Nan Sun (UT Austin, nansun@mail.utexas.edu) • Secretary: Mikel Ash (TI, mikel.ash@ti.com) • Advisor • Matt Felder (matt_felder@yahoo.com) • HaoxingRen (IBM, renhaoxing@ieee.org)
Chapter Updates • Meeting location: UT Campus ENS 306 or ACES 2.402 • Officer election will be held at October meeting. • Ten technical meetings, two administrative meetings. • Oct 27 Workshop:IEEE CTS CAS/SSC Workshop: Data Parallelism for Multi-Core Chips and GPU (Speakers from IBM, AMD, Altera, Texas A&M, and maybe Nvidia and Intel). Include tutorial and panel discussion as well. • IEEE Solid State Circuits 2011 Outstanding Chapter Award at ISSCC ($1000 prize)
SWOT Analysis • Strengths • Good technical talks, DL program. • Stable attendance rate. • So far one workshop per year in last two years and one planned for this year. • Good leadership pipeline. • Stable funding resource from CAS and SSC Society. • Extra subsidy funding from CAS and SSC for workshop or extra events to promote memberships. • Weaknesses • Find more good technical talks and workshop topics. • Increase attendance rate.
SWOT Analysis • Opportunities • Local chip design and EDA companies • University of Texas, Austin • Threats • Seminars inside companies and Universities • A less interesting workshop may get cancelled or need more funding.
Chapter Plans / Issues • Continue ISSCC annual review. • One more SSC Distinguished Lecture in Oct 11. • Cosponsor event/seminars with new CEDA chapter (Aug 30 DL seminar is sponsored by both SSC and CEDA). • Invite Distinguished Lecture Programspeakers.
