Cerebras

Holds a B.A. in economics and political science and an M.B.A., both from Stanford University. Co-founded SeaMicro in 2007, building energy-efficient microservers; AMD acquired the company in 2012 for approximately $334 million, after which Feldman served as AMD's Corporate VP for Data Center Server Solutions. Previously was VP of Marketing at Force10 Networks (sold to Dell for ~$700 million) and VP of Marketing at Riverstone Networks through its IPO. In 2015 he co-founded Cerebras alongside his SeaMicro colleagues to build the largest AI accelerator chip ever made, the Wafer-Scale Engine.

Holds B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering and computer science from MIT. After graduating, spent five years at AMD on its advanced architecture team before joining SeaMicro as lead hardware architect. When AMD acquired SeaMicro in 2012, Lie became AMD's Chief Data Center Architect. He co-founded Cerebras in 2015 with his SeaMicro colleagues and serves as CTO, overseeing hardware architecture for the Wafer-Scale Engine — the largest chip ever manufactured — and successive generations of the CS-2 and CS-3 AI systems.

A veteran computer architect who co-founded SeaMicro alongside Andrew Feldman in 2007, serving as its principal technical investigator on a $9.3 million Department of Energy grant for energy-efficient servers.
