  • JxCDC: Weight-Input Transformations for Robust and Low Power CiM in Ultra-Low Precision DNNs | SSCS February Technical Webinar

    Virtual Event

    Abstract: Computing-in-memory (CiM), in conjunction with ultra-low precision (ULP) inputs and weights, promises a pathway towards the deployment of DNN workloads on resource-constrained edge platforms. For instance, CiM-enabled binary neural network (BNN) accelerators (with inputs and weights quantized to two states: {-1,1}) have shown potential by significantly reducing storage and energy cost while maintaining acceptable […]

  • Algorithm-Driven Physical Design Automation for 3D Integrated Circuits | SSCS March Technical Webinar

    Online
    Virtual Event

    Abstract: Three-dimensional integrated circuits (3D ICs) are shaping the future of AI hardware by stacking multiple chips vertically to achieve higher bandwidth, lower latency, and better energy efficiency. But this vertical integration also introduces new design challenges, including heat dissipation, power delivery, cross-layer timing, clock distribution, routing congestion, and multi-physics reliability, making manual design impractical. […]

  • AI-Enabled RFIC Design Beyond Human Intuition | SSCS Webinars for Young Excellence

    Online
    Virtual Event

    Abstract: Traditionally, chip-scale RF system design has been in the domain of the expert, dominated by thumb rules and trial-and-error techniques. Designing these ICs, which form the bedrock of wireless networks, is complex, time-consuming, requires years of expertise, and is therefore very expensive. Historically, the design process for RF ICs has relied on intuition-based approaches […]

  • Ideas for Extreme Energy Efficiency for Analog Circuits | SSCS April Technical Webinar

    Online
    Virtual Event

    Abstract: With emerging trends such as machine learning, the internet of everything, brain–machine interfaces, autonomous driving, 6G communications, and quantum computing, circuit designers are increasingly challenged to achieve drastic improvements in accuracy, speed, and power efficiency. Yet, as CMOS circuit designs have matured over the past five decades, we often find ourselves constrained by well-established […]
