SUMMARY:Brown bag: Rachit Agarwal
DESCRIPTION:Title: Why are today's computing systems so far away from
	 their fundamental performance limits?\nSpeaker: Rachit
	 Agarwal\nAbstract: Fundamental performance limits of a computing system
	 can be characterized using lower bounds on algorithms running atop these
	 systems\, and the physical limits of the underlying hardware. This talk
	 will explore two questions that make my neurons fire relentlessly: Why
	 is the performance of today's computing systems so far away (typically
	 10x\, and often more than 100x) from their fundamental limits? How can
	 we bridge this gap?\nAnswering the above questions often requires
	 understanding complex interactions between various components of a
	 computing system --- algorithms\, software\, and hardware (memory\,
	 CPU\, networks). I will discuss my research in these areas (and at their
	 boundaries) that aims to resolve the above two questions.
