Rambling After All These Years
Prof. Yale Patt
Ernest Cockrell, Jr. Centennial Chair in Engineering
University of Texas at Austin
Friday, February 27, 2009
6:00-7:00pm, 1505 SC
Abstract
After more than 30 years of teaching, while at the same time having
some success at research and consulting in the high-tech
microprocessor area, I have acquired some opinions on education. If
you let me, I would be happy to share some of them. This talk does
exactly what the title says -- rambles over my views on education. I
will no doubt get into the problems with distance learning, JAVA
vs. other religions, equal opportunity, and my personal set of rules
for being a good teacher. How much time we spend on each, and what
else we get into will depend on the audience.
Bio:
Yale Patt enjoys equally teaching required undergraduate courses and
advanced graduate seminars. He directs the research of nine PhD
students in high performance computer architecture and
implementation. His research results have been adopted extensively in
the high performance microprocessors of today.
He received the Emmanuel R. Piore Award (one of the IEEE Fields
Medals) in 1995, the ACM/IEEE Eckert-Mauchly Award (the highest honor
in the field of Computer Architecture) in 1996, the IEEE W.W.McDowell
Award in 1999, the ACM Karl V. Karlstrom Outstanding Educator Award in
2000, and the IEEE Charles Babbage Award in 2005. He was named
Outstanding ACM Lecturer in 1998-1999, and in 2000-2001.
