Yen-Kuang Chen received the Ph.D. from Princeton University and is a Principal Engineer at Intel Corporation. His research interests include developing innovative multimedia applications, analyzing the performance bottleneck in current computers, and designing next generation microprocessor/platform with many cores. In particular, he is analyzing the emerging multimedia applications and providing inputs to the definition of the next-generation CPUs and GPUs with many cores. He has 15+ US patents, 20+ pending patent applications, and 85+ technical publications.
He is an associate editor of the Journal of Signal Processing Systems (including a special issue on "Multi-core Enabled Multimedia Applications & Architectures"), of IEEE Transactions on Circuit and System for Video Technology (including a special issue on "Algorithm/Architectures Co-Exploration of Visual Computing"), of IEEE Transactions on Multimedia, and of IEEE Transactions on Circuit and System I. He is a guest editor of the special issue on "Signal Processing on Platforms with Multiple Cores: Part 1 -- Overview and Methodology" (Nov 2009) and the special issue on "Signal Processing on Platforms with Multiple Cores: Part 2 -- Design and Applications" (March 2010) for IEEE Signal Processing Magazine. He is a member of Multimedia Signal Processing TC, IEEE Signal Processing Society, Design and Implementation of Signal Processing Systems TC, IEEE Signal Processing Society, Multimedia Systems and Applications TC, IEEE Circuits and Systems Society, and Visual Signal Processing and Communications TC, IEEE Circuits and Systems Society. He has served as a program committee member of 35+ international conferences and workshops.
Currently, he is trying to bring the awareness of the trends and the challenges of many core eras to the development of multimedia applications. In ICME 2007 and 2008, he organized the special sessions on "Multi-Core Enabled Multimedia Applications and Standards" and "Multimedia Signal Processing on Graphics Processors with Hundreds of Cores." In ICME 2009, he organized the workshop on "Multimedia Signal Processing and Novel Parallel Computing." In ICASSP 2008, he gave a tutorial on "Multimedia Signal Processing on Processors with Many Cores." In ICASSP 2009 and ISCAS 2009, he gave a tutorial on "Multimedia Signal Processing on CPUs and GPUs with Many Cores."
He is an IEEE Senior Member and an ACM Senior Member.
