The Golden Rule Human attention is the scarcest resource. --Herbert Simon [Nobel 1972, Turing 1975] NAIC Visiting Committee Meeting · February 19 -21, 2007
Attention Span Standard deviation for typical listener is about 15 minutes. NAIC Visiting Committee Meeting · February 19 -21, 2007
The Bottom Line: Practice NAIC Visiting Committee Meeting · February 19 -21, 2007
1 • Idea per slide (i. e. , KISS = Keep it simple, s…) NAIC Visiting Committee Meeting · February 19 -21, 2007
Memory Limitations • Short-term memory: ~ 7 simple things • Audience may get 1 or 2 from your talk. • Reinforce the core message, not details. • What is your “story line”? NAIC Visiting Committee Meeting · February 19 -21, 2007
Use Pictures as Visual Metaphors This thesis presents a compilation framework for A comparison of Spatial Computation and superscalar translating ANSI C processors highlights some of the weaknesses of our model this is one word that I am writing of computation, such as the lack of branch prediction and registerfirst renaming.

Using media processing benchmarks, we show that better than superscalar one order for the domain of embedded computation, theprocessors, circuits generated by of magnitude thanhigh low-power signal processors CASH canbetter sustain levelsdigital of instruction level and asynchronous processors, and approaching custom hardware chips. three orders of magnitude parallelism, due to the effective use of dataflow The most notable of these are a new optimal registersoftware pipelining. promotion algorithm and partial redundancy elimination for memory accesses based on predicate manipulation.

Notes from AUSAC • Limit detail on all slides. 20 -30 words max. • Make plot linewidths extra fat. • Incorporate ALL movies and simulations into Powerpoint/Keynote, etc. • Look at audience. • Never read slides. Audience listens and reads at different rates. NAIC Visiting Committee Meeting · February 19 -21, 2007
More Notes from AUSAC • • • Explain ALL your slides. Never underline. (Use bold, CAPS, italics, color) Stick to one font family. Kerned fonts clearest. This is 32 -point Times New Roman font. Slide change gimmicks: yecch!! Use the spelling checker. NAIC Visiting Committee Meeting · February 19 -21, 2007
Even More Notes from AUSAC • Laser pointer: – Use a. (What is s/he pointing at? ) – Use very sparingly. – Don’t wave it around! (Makes me seasick. ) – Steady it on the podium if necessary. (Who’s nervous? ) NAIC Visiting Committee Meeting · February 19 -21, 2007
Time Always end on time. Even if you have to cut. NAIC Visiting Committee Meeting · February 19 -21, 2007
Rehearse and Repeat The talk will only get better NAIC Visiting Committee Meeting · February 19 -21, 2007
Questions • Listen very carefully. • Repeat the question. – To be sure you got it right – So that the rest of the audience can hear it, too. • Answer succinctly and clearly • Most people answer different questions than are asked! NAIC Visiting Committee Meeting · February 19 -21, 2007
Figures, graphs, diagrams • • Fat lines essential. Label axes clearly (i. e. , big enough to read. ) Maximize figure size on slide. Figures should be self-contained; no short-term memory required. • Beware of low-contrast projection: washes out color. NAIC Visiting Committee Meeting · February 19 -21, 2007
Intensity and spectrum of a Main pulse NAIC Visiting Committee Meeting · February 19 -21, 2007
A “Megapulse” 2. 2 Mega-Jansky pulse Duration: 0. 4 nanoseconds 0. 4 ns NAIC Visiting Committee Meeting · February 19 -21, 2007
Interpulse spectral band spacing proportional to frequency NAIC Visiting Committee Meeting · February 19 -21, 2007
Quotes: Leslie Lamport • “Don't give your paper; the audience can't take it. If someone can understand in thirty minutes what it took you weeks to develop, then you're in the wrong business. ” • “Time your talk. Running over your allotted time is a mark of incompetence. ” NAIC Visiting Committee Meeting · February 19 -21, 2007
More from Leslie Lamport: • You are now thinking: "All those dull speakers I've listened to should use these rules, but I don't need them because my talks are interesting. " All those dull speakers are now thinking exactly the same thing. Read the rules again with the proper humility. They apply to everyone. NAIC Visiting Committee Meeting · February 19 -21, 2007
Conclusions • Conclusions: what one should remember. • Conclusions: not the same as summary. • Optimize talk for audience. • You can always improve a talk. • People may remember the impression you make far longer than the contents of your talk.
