DESCRIPTION:ARM has established itself as the 'architecture of the digital
  world'\; if it is a low-power system on chip it most likely has at least 
 one ARM IP on it. As ARM's Research Group\, our mission is to investigate 
 emerging technologies\,\ndemonstrate promising ideas to create a pipeline 
 for future ARM products\, align with partners to create future use-cases a
 nd make ARM the choice of architecture for the academic world.\n \nCompute
 r architects depend on simulation tools for design-space exploration and f
 or prototyping new ideas. The advantages of trace-driven simulation are sh
 orter run-times and portability of traces to other simulation frameworks.\
 nHowever\, it is challenging to replicate complex interactions between mod
 ern out-of-order cores and the memory using trace-driven approaches. My re
 search project is about a trace-driven simulation technique that accuratel
 y captures\napplication dependencies and relative delays that are specific
  to a processor microarchitecture. Our trace-driven model adapts execution
  time to memory system changes as would the actual CPU\, which allows us t
 o evaluate different memory system topologies\, memory controller designs\
 , and new cache and interconnect designs.\n \nIn this talk\, I will give a
 n overview of ARM\, ARM's Research Group and my research project. I will a
 lso briefly cover the CSR and outreach activities at ARM\, and my own thou
 ghts and experiences as a woman engineer in a male-dominated work place.\n
 \nBio: Radhika Jagtap received her Bachelor of Technology from the College
  of Engineering Pune\, India and Master of Science in Microelectronics fro
 m Delft University of Technology\, The Netherlands. She has worked for the
  IBM Systems and Technology Lab\, India and for the last three years has b
 een working as an engineer/researcher at ARM's Research Group in Cambridge
 . She is interested in computer architecture\, memories and interconnect.\
