Bio: Dr. Marc Duranton is a member of the List institute of the Research and Technology Department of CEA (French Atomic Energy Commission), where he is involved in realizations for Deep Learning and on Cyber Physical Systems.

He previously spent more than 23 years in Philips and Philips Semiconductors where he led the development of the family of L-Neuro chips, digital processors using artificial neural networks techniques. He also worked on several video coprocessors for the VLIW processor TriMedia and for various Nexperia platforms. In NXP Semiconductors, he was in charge of Ne-XVP project that targeted the design of the hardware and software of a multi-core processor for real-time applications and for consumer video processing.

His interests include Deep Learning, Artificial Intelligence and emerging paradigms for computing systems, HPC, embedded systems, (Cognitive) Cyber Physical Systems, parallel architectures for high performance and real-time processing, models of computation and communication with time guaranties. He has published more than 35 patents and several book chapters. He is a member of the College of Ethics of CEA on "Moral issues in automatic decision-making processes".

He is in charge of the roadmap activity of HiPEAC on High Performance and Embedded Architecture and Compilation, freely available here.
