Ask Me Anything with Margaret Martonosi
summary
Leads the US computing directorate as assistant director for CISE, stewarding roughly a billion-dollar budget while keeping Princeton tenure and advising existing PhD students but not admitting new ones. Argues PL and architecture must collaborate, cites verified microarchitecture vs ISA work and memory consistency efforts, and critiques closed FPGA tool flows while promoting coarse-grained configurability for better power/area tradeoffs. Highlights an algorithms-to-machine gap in quantum computing, promotes VQE/QAOA-class algorithms, faculty fellowships for quantum curricula, and advises early career proposal writing and hands-on mentorship.
