Jay Owen, Strategic Programs Manager, AMD
Acceleration Technologies Group
One challenge facing the IT industry has been the explosive growth in data. Attempts to use system and processor computing performance increasingly fail to represent a fair measure of potential user productivity. Jay's presentation, IT Innovation - An AMD Perspective will review the some of trends challenging the industry, work underway to improve the measurement of performance and then highlight AMD's public plans around processors and acceleration co-processors as they relate to users' needs.
Jay has nearly thirty years of technical marketing, business development and sales experience in the IT industry. Over the past eight years he has concentrated on the high performance computing market working for two HPC-focused companies as well as consulting on IT in life sciences research prior to joining AMD. Jay has a BME from General Motors Institute and an MBA from Harvard. He and his family reside outside Boston, MA and as a Red Sox fan, he remains perpetually optimistic about the next year.
