Misha Smelyanskiy
Misha Smelyanskiy is a Director of AI System Co-Design Group at Facebook. The group delivers innovative, high-performance optimizations of key AI services on existing platforms, as well as co-designs future AI systems at datacenter scale. Before joining Facebook in early 2017, Misha spent 13 years at Intel. First at Intel Parallel Computing Labs, leading application-driven parallel architecture research, which resulted in significant contribution to the definition of Intel first Many-Integrated Core architecture. And later as the director of Exascale SW/HW co-design group, working with external HPC and Machine Learning customers to derive system-level hardware. Misha has published 50+ papers in top-tier architecture, supercomputing and ML conferences and journals. Misha won Green500 competition in 2012, developed world fastest distributed quantum system simulator in 2016, and was 2014 Gordon Bell Award Finalist.
