    Introduction

    Ravi Adve from University of Toronto graciously invited me to give a 
    public lecture...

    job organizing everything. The audience was engaging...

    Many thanks again to Ravi and University of Toronto for hosting me. 
    Below are some main points from my slides along with brief thoughts on each.

    The slides are also available for download.
