Srikanth Jadcherla is an Indian American Technologist, entrepreneur, and educator. He is known for his pioneering work in power management and low power electronics. He is the co-founder of iMedrix Inc., and the father of Voltage Aware Boolean Analysis, which helped to verify modern low power designs, and wrote the seminal book on low power verification methodology.[1]
Early Life and Education[edit]
Jadcherla was born in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. He won the National Talent Search Scholarship in the 10th grade and was admitted to the Elite Little Flower Junior College for Intermediate (11th and 12th grades). He holds a Bachelor’s degree in EE from IIT Madras, Chennai, and a Master’s from the University of California, Santa Barbara.
Career[edit]
Jadcherla joined a start-up called WSI in Fremont, CA after his Master’s degree and later shifted to Intel. He was initially part of the Pentium II design and opted for the emerging field of low power design after the Pentium II project was done. He won the Intel Achievement Award, Intel’s highest honor, for his work on Low Power. His ideas on Platform level power management using the software involved early work on OSPM, ACPI. He also worked on pioneering mobile chipsets, the first gate-level power analysis tools, and became a platform architect for Pentium III and Pentium IV laptop platforms working on technologies such as the SpeedStep.
He left Intel in 2000 to start an Internet-enabled education venture. He tutored students with automated test-taking and expert system databases, adaptive learning, etc. This venture was sold to an IT firm which went down in the dot-com bust.
Jadcherla later joined Jasmine Networks, a SONET startup, which on the verge of acquisition sued its potential suitor.[2] He then joined Synopsys, which he quitted in 2004 to start Archpro Design Automation to focus on enabling Low Power Chips. The company was funded from Intel and Sage Ventures.[3] The work Jadcherla did on voltage aware Boolean equations led a format informally called APF or Archpro Power Format. In turn, it led to the IEEE 1801 Standard. However, industry bodies stuck with a simpler abstraction called X-injection. Archpro was acquired by Synopsys in 2007.
In 2008, he released a book on the design and verification of low power systems VMM-LP where he explained the basis of multi-voltage designs, the fundamentals of power management, and how to go about setting up and verifying a design. It included issues such as the Samsung Note 7 fires and iPhone6 Battery recall/controversy.
In the same year, he turned to affordable education as his legacy project. It started out on a small scale to train rural students over WebEx and later became a graduate school called Seer Akademi.[4]
Jadcherla pioneered a number of innovations such as using only veterans teachers, using 1:2 lecture-lab ratios, digital hybrid models for delivery and interaction, and a rigorous process of curriculum formation from employer requirements. In the process, he built a reference model and program that was compatible with Washington Accord’s Outcome based Learning models. In doing so, he adapted Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy’s 2 dimensional learning model to track the progress of individual students, the only known application of this instructional design model at the graduate level and in engineering.
His work also resulted in a large donation of state of the art VLSI design tools by Synopsys and Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad.[5] Seer Akademi eventually donated its framework to the Indian Electronics and Semiconductor Association and licensing its content to the National Program on Technology Enhanced Learning NPTEL. It contributed highly structured, outcome oriented lesson plans to NPTEL to create employment oriented graduate courses.[6]
In 2013, he started formulating the basis for the mobile medical era applying IoT architectures to medical systems and workflows. iMedrix Inc. was borne out of this effort, which is one of the companies leading in mobile electro cardiograms with most of the industry leaders as partners. iMedrix received FDA clearance for its device in 2020. Its technology is used globally to provide access to cardiac care and in cutting edge applications such as motorcycle ambulances.
In 2015, Jadcherla shifted Seer Akademi to the US to form Global Technology University Board, with an aim to get international accreditation. He is a Charter member of the TiE, an organization dedicated to fostering Entrepreneurs of Indian Origin.
