GSI Technology, Inc. Appoints Former Amazon and Microsoft Executive Gur Kimchi to Advisory Board
November 10 2020 - 8:30AM
GSI Technology,
Inc. (NASDAQ:GSIT), a leading provider of
high-performance memory solutions for the networking,
telecommunications and military markets, and developer of the
Gemini® Associative Processing Unit (APU) for Artificial
Intelligence, today announced the appointment of Gur Kimchi to its
Advisory Board.
After joining Amazon in 2012, Gur co-founded the Amazon Prime
Air delivery-by-drone project and led the organization for over
seven years, culminating recently with Amazon being granted a
Part-135 commercial airline certificate by the FAA. Prior to
Amazon, Gur spent ten years at Microsoft where he worked on a range
of innovative technologies & services, including Enterprise
Communications, Virtual Earth & Bing Maps, Cloud Infrastructure
including custom Cloud Hardware, Augmented/Virtual Reality, and
Photogrammetric Data & Services. A veteran of five early stage
companies, Gur previously served on the board of Waze (acquired by
Google) and was one of the early developers of VoIP technology and
IP-based telecommunications interoperability standards. Gur is a
founding member of the FAA Drone Advisory Committee, and worked in
collaboration with the FAA, NASA, SESAR, and ICAO on the
development of the Federated Airspace Management Architecture,
enabling the safe integration of drones into the airspace around
the world.
“I have followed the development of Associative Processing
technology for over 25 years” said Gur, “During that time, I have
worked on some of the world’s largest AI-powered systems, including
some of the first GPGPU-powered services, and was often frustrated
with the capabilities of the available compute and memory
architectures. The APU approach, blending memory, IO, and
computation, is a unique enabler that will fundamentally and
exponentially improve the scalability, lower the latency, and
radically improve the power-usage of large-scale AI systems. I’m
very excited to join the team and assist GSI on their journey.”
"Gur Kimchi is a visionary and strong leader, who excels at
implementing visions, building teams, and leading them to success,"
said GSI Technology's Chairman and CEO, Lee-Lean Shu. "His
extensive experience in effectively creating and launching a vast
array of new technologies and products, overseeing large and
complex operational teams, and working with customers and partners
to understand their product and technology needs will be a valuable
resource to GSI Technology. Gur is our inaugural Advisory Board
member, and we are extremely fortunate to have his expertise and
thought leadership to provide innovative advice and a dynamic
perspective to our Company."
Continued Mr. Shu, "The goal of GSI's Advisory Board is to
provide strategic direction on technology, applications and
markets, as well as launches and marketing plans for the APU. We
are building a pipeline of candidates for the Advisory Board and
plan to expand the Board as opportunities arise."
