--- title: Imagination Blog | Dave Murray description: "Dave has worked in the semiconductor industry in the field of accelerated computing at the edge for nearly 3 decades. Sarting out in embedded DSP algorithm development for the first generations of GSM chipsets, long before the term “accelerated computing” was popularised and back when the words “the Edge” unambiguously referred to the Guitarist from U2. \n

Dave has held management positions in Software engineering, Applications engineering, Ecosystem partnerships and Product management at a number of high-profile companies, including Intel-Movidius where he was deeply involved with bringing the first generations of AI compute accelerators to market; technologies that have culminated in the AI PC.

\n

At Imagination Dave is focused on the AI/Compute strategy and the whole software product offering, including ecosystem engagement onto open standards and open-source projects. Dave was at Intel during the inception of the oneAPI initiative and now represents Imagination as an active member of the UXL Steering Committee.
