At each session, a guest lecturer examines some topic on current research and developments in computer systems. Speakers are drawn from industry, government, research, and educational institutions around the world. The topics touch upon all aspects of computer science and engineering including logic design, computer organization and architecture, software engineering, computer applications of all sorts, public policy, and the social, business, and financial implications of technology. Frequently the Colloquium provides the first public forum for discussion of new products, discoveries, or ideas. en-us Education no Computer Systems Colloquium - Fall 2007 - The PeakStream Platform for Many-Core Computing (September 26, 2007) - (September 26, 2007) This talk describes the PeakStream history, from early Stanford connections, to founding, to products, to its acquisition by Google in 2007.
