Sunny talks parallelism, neural net efficiency, and risk taking with Caltech’s Prof Carver Mead. Now an Emeritus Professor, Mead has been instrumental in the development of chip design. He worked with Lynn Conway to start the VLSI chip revolution and was one of the first employees of Noyce and Moore, which later became Intel. As well as being a close collaborator with people like Gordon Moore, John Hopfield, and Richard Feynman, he, with Misha Mahowald, helped create the field that we now know as neuromorphic engineering.
