Kurt Keutzer (born November 9, 1955) is an American computer scientist.

Early life and education

Kurt Keutzer grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana.^{[citation needed]} He earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Maharishi University of Management (formerly Mararishi International University) in 1978,^[2] and a PhD in computer science from Indiana University Bloomington in 1984.^[3]

Career

Keutzer joined Bell Labs in 1984, where he worked on logic synthesis.^[2] In 1991, he joined the electronic design automation company Synopsys, where he was promoted to chief technology officer.^[2]^[4] He subsequently joined the University of California, Berkeley as a professor in 1998.^[2]

His research at Berkeley has focused on the intersection of high performance computing and machine learning. Working with a number of graduate students at Berkeley, Keutzer developed FireCaffe, which scaled the training of deep neural networks to over 100 GPUs. Later, with LARS and LAMB optimizers, they scaled it to over 1000 servers.^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8] Keutzer and his students also developed deep neural networks such as SqueezeNet, SqueezeDet, and SqueezeSeg, which can run efficiently on mobile devices.^[9]

Keutzer co-founded DeepScale with his PhD student Forrest Iandola in 2015, and Keutzer served as the company's chief strategy officer.^[10] The firm was focused on developing deep neural networks for advanced driver assistance systems in passenger cars.^[11]

On October 1, 2019, electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla, Inc. purchased DeepScale to augment and accelerate its self-driving vehicle work.^[12]

Honors and awards

Keutzer was named a Fellow of the IEEE in 1996.^[13]

Recipient of DAC Most Influential Paper (MIP) award (24th DAC, 1987) for his "Dagon: technology binding and local optimization by DAG matching” publication.^[14]
