Seminar 2016-02-05: Douglas Carmean - What Could Possibly go Wrong? A Look at the Dark Side of Computer Architecture

A clear market need, compelling usage models and a dream team create the perfect storm for a fantastically successful product. Compromises, unforeseen challenges and poor decision making can conspire to turn a brilliant product into a merely successful endeavor. This talk will explore the underbelly of computer architecture and product definition. It will look at things that went wrong and lessons learned from the execution of a major product development. While the scope of the project was to create new business opportunities in excess of $1B, some of the lessons are surprisingly applicable to everyday computer architecture projects.
