IISWC-2021
November 7 – November 9, 2021
To be held virtually
CONFERENCE PROGRAM
* IISWC 2021 is a virtual program that will host technical paper sessions and keynotes live. The paper presentation times are kept short in light of the virtual nature of the program. To support effective dissemination of the publications, long recorded presentations for the 19 technical papers can be found at the following IISWC 2021 YouTube Channel.
* All times are in EST (UTC-5). Note that daylight saving time ends on Sunday, November 7, 2021, at 2am.
* All registered participants receive Zoom links to join the technical sessions via email from registration chair, Bingzhe Li <bingzhe.li@okstate.edu>.
* Open Research Objects (ORO) : This badge signals that author-created digital objects used in the research (including data and code) are permanently archived in a public repository that assigns a global identifier and guarantees persistence, and are made available via standard open licenses that maximize artifact availability.

The confidentiality and integrity of data are cornerstone properties of information technology security. The use of cryptography in conjunction with more traditional access control and other separation mechanisms is now wide-spread, well understood, and accepted when protecting data at rest or in motion. As we rely more and more on computing environments that we may not directly control, such as those we see today with various cloud computing models, there is heightened interest in the use of these technologies to protect data that is actively in use. This interest and related trend, which is becoming known as Confidential Computing (and several other names), has its roots in the long and rich history of computer security. I will discuss the role and ongoing evolution of hardware-based trusted execution environments – such as SGX – in achieving these goals, the progress we’ve made and the challenges we and the industry still face, all through the lens of my personal experience and what we are seeing from Intel’s cloud and data center customers and partners.
Ron Perez is an Intel Fellow and Chief Security Architect in the Office of the CTO at Intel. He is responsible for overall Intel security architecture and cross-business unit security technology roadmap alignment, with a focus on Confidential Computing and platform security for the disaggregated, heterogeneous, and distributed data center. He leads a team of senior technology leaders driving Intel's foundational security technologies for server platforms and roots-of-trust, hierarchical memory subsystems, supply chain and life cycle integrity, and trusted execution environments in collaboration with Intel Labs and world-wide strategy, planning, engineering, design, and validation teams. An industry veteran, Ron joined Intel in 2017 with a breadth of experience spanning security, semiconductors, and cloud computing. Most recently, he was Vice President of Security Research at Visa Inc., and has held roles as Fellow and Chief Technology Officer in the Cryptography Research Division of Rambus Inc., Senior Fellow and head of security architecture at Advanced Micro Devices Inc., and earlier in his career, as a senior manager and senior technical staff member at IBM's T.J. Watson Research Center.

The past decade has witnessed orders-of-magnitude increase in the amount of compute for AI. Modern natural language processing models are fueled with over trillion parameters while the memory needs of deep learning recommendation and ranking models have grown from hundreds of gigabytes to the terabyte scale. We will explore the environmental implications of the super-linear growth trend for AI from a holistic perspective, spanning data, algorithms, and system hardware. I will talk about the carbon footprint of AI computing by examining the model development cycle across industry-scale use cases and, at the same time, considering the life cycle of system hardware. The talk will capture the operational and manufacturing carbon footprint of AI computing. I will present an end-to-end analysis for what and how hardware-software design and at-scale optimization can help reduce the overall carbon footprint of AI. Based on the industry experience and lessons learned, I will share the key challenges across the many dimensions of AI. This talk will conclude with important development and research directions to advance the field of AI in an environmentally-responsible and sustainable manner.
