Ronan Keryell
Xilinx
Principal Software Engineer
Ronan Keryell is principal software engineer at Xilinx Research Labs,
where he works on high-level programming models for heterogeneous
systems, such as FPGA and CGRA, with the open-source
https://github.com/triSYCL/triSYCL SYCL implementation.
He is the specification editor of the SYCL standard, member of the
SYCL, SPIR & OpenCL standard committees from Khronos Group & ISO C++
committee.
Ronan Keryell received his MSc in Electrical Engineering and PhD in
Computer Science in 1992 from École Normale Supérieure of Paris &
University of Paris Sud (France), on the design of a massively
parallel RISC-based VLIW-SIMD graphics computer (a Jurassic GPU
ancestor...) and its programming environment. He spent some time in
the academia teaching and working on automatic parallelization,
compilation of PGAS languages (High-Performance Fortran), high-level
synthesis and co-design, networking and secure computing. He was
co-founder of 3 start-ups, mainly in the area of High-Performance
Computing, and was the technical lead of the Par4All automatic
parallelizer at SILKAN, targeting OpenMP, CUDA & OpenCL from
sequential C & Fortran. Before joining Xilinx, he worked at AMD on
programming models for GPU.
