ABSTRACT
In this Museum Archive talk, Suhas Patil relays early
influences and stories about his life experiences as a scientist,
applied mathematician, educator, and entrepreneur.
As a school kid in Jamshedpur, India, Suhas began his
technology journey playing with magnetic relays and
WWII vacuum tubes. In high school he built a radio transmitter,
learning from an ARRL (ham radio) handbook. By the time he
graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology, he was
programming in Fortran on an IBM 1620.
In the 1960s at MIT, he built one of the first online information
management systems on the CTS system. In the 1970s he built a
silicon compiler.
In the early 1980s, Suhas pioneered the fabless semiconductor
revolution with the founding of Cirrus Logic. Now as chairman of
Cradle Technologies, he is hoping to launch the next major change
in the industry with a "soft silicon," computational approach to
achieving silicon functionality in integrated circuits.
On this very special evening, Suhas will share insights gained from
his lifelong fascination with recognizing transitions in technology,
finding new solutions, and doing what it takes to bring them to fruition.
