+# Luke Leighton bio
+
+Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton specialises in Libre Ethical Technology.
+He has been using, programming and reverse-engineering computing
+devices continuously for 44 years, has a BEng (Hons), ACGI, in
+Theory of Computing from Imperial College, and recently put that
+education to good use in the form of the Libre-SOC
+Project: an entirely Libre-Licensed 3D Hybrid CPU-VPU-GPU based on
+OpenPOWER. He writes poetry and has been developing a HEP Physics theory
+for the past 36 years in his spare time.

+# Coherent Distributed Computing: ZOLC, SVP64, OpenCAPI
+
+Deterministic Scheduled Zero-Overhead Loops have a startling property:
+their deterministic nature allows them to be distributed. Extra-V began
+to illustrate the potential here, by performing near-Memory Coherent
+and conditional Graph walking, making full use of OpenCAPI's potential.
+Snitch also led the way, bringing back Auto-increment Load/Store from
+the CISC era, but hidden behind Tagged Registers connected to
+Coherent FIFOs leading indirectly to main Memory.  Where both Snitch
+and Extra-V used limited variants of Deterministic Loops as proof-of-concept
+of the overall , ZOLC is
+a much more extensive and well-defined
+
+SVP64 takes the Zero-Overhead Loop concept firmly into Supercomputing
+Vector Processing territory, currently limited to the register file.
+This talk explores the potential of combining Snitch and Extra-V's
+pioneering techniques, combining SVP64 and ZOLC, and leveraging OpenCAPI,
+on top of the OpenPOWER ISA, to create High-performance Coherent
+Distributed Computing with the potential to run large-scale Parallel
+Compute tasks at 100% sustained throughput, using assembly intrinsics at
+in a normal everyday ubiquitous Software environment: no specialist
+parallel programming languages or special compilers needed.
