Advancing Compilation of DNNs for FPGAs Using Operation Set Architectures
- 2022
- IEEE Computer Architecture Letters
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 VLSI 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 ?
I am currently working on a disaggregated cloud and computing infrastructure for FPGAs. The goal of this project is to deploy FPGAs at large scale in hyperscale data centers.

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).
