Bill Dally (http://cva.stanford.edu/billd_webpage_new.html) recently made the jump from head of the computer science department at Stanford University to being chief scientist at graphics chip maker Nvidia (http://venturebeat.com/2009/01/28/nvidia-hires-stanfords-computer-science-department-head-as-chief-scientist/). Now he has to be the chief visionary for the products that Nvidia will make in the future. His expertise is in parallel computing, which he believes will come to dominate the picture. If he’s right, we’ll see a shift of billions of dollars of sales from one part of the chip industry to another. I had the chance to interview him recently about his new role and the future of chip technology.
