Cecill Etheredge

About Me

In daily life, Cecill serves as the Technical Director of KoalaDSP, a European startup focused on whitelabel DSP, middleware and audio plugin development for major industry players. In the remaining hours, Cecill channels his engineering skills and artistic flair into tackling challenging and complex problems, driven by a classic hacker ethos and curiosity. With a lifelong passion for technology and music, and over 20 years of experience in areas involving hardware, games, graphics, audio & algorithms, Cecill is still on a never-ending journey to learn, to create impactful innovations, and to share the lessons learned with others.

Cecill's experience with GPGPU began in 2008 during the early days of NVIDIA CUDA and Cg with the development of custom graphics rasterization and voxel raytracing algorithms at the University of Twente. This led to a more prominent role in researching & creating mass-spring physics algorithms in CUDA for medical systems with sub-millisecond real-time haptics. The drive to explore new uses for GPGPU has never left ever since. Today, with GPGPU technology more relevant than ever, the integration of GPGPU and audio has become particularly significant and personally relevant.
