DOSA: Organic Compilation for Neural Network Inference on Distributed FPGAs
- 2023
- EDGE 2023
I'm a research staff member in the Hybrid Cloud Research department of the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory (Switzerland), which I joined in 1997.
My area of research is high-speed networking, with an emphasis on architecture and systems design of server interconnect fabrics and accelerators for computer interconnection networks. I received a Dipl.-Eng. degree from the Ecole Nationale d’Ingénieurs (now UTBM), Belfort, France, and a Master's in microelectronics from the Institut Supérieur de Microélectronique Appliquée (now EMSE-ISMIN), Marseille, France.
What keeps me busy ?
Right now, I am enrolled in a full-time learning program called “Software Engineering for Scientists" until the end of 2023. The goal of this training is to develop new transversal skills in the fields of Cloud Engineering, Data Engineering, Machine Learning and Data Science, in order to have a greater impact on the business growth.

Former Life
Before joining IBM in 1997, I was a hardware engineer at Telmat Informatique, where I designed architectures and electronic boards for Unix multiprocessor servers and Transputer-based parallel supercomputers.
During that period I participated in several European projects in which I conducted research in the fields of real-time 3-D graphics (The Spirit Workstation) and Transputer-based networking (Supernode).
