“The best results came when students did not what I told them to do”
.. according to Giovanni De Micheli, professor of EE and CS at the EPFL. In this interview at the HiPEAC conference we discuss the future of Computer Systems but, perhaps more important, the requirements, the mindset of researchers and students to come up with new solutions and ideas. He remembers two examples where students did not what he told them to do and that resulted in interesting outcomes – one of them was Yahoo!
Find his view on what it takes to come up with new architectures, his view on how knowledge has no borthers, how relations with others can drive new ideas and how Europe can continue playing a role in developing new Computer Architectures.
