    Name: Francky Catthoor Date and Time: Wednesday, October 31 at 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Location: Engineering Hall 2430 Abstract:  Several beyond CMOS computing directions are being explored given that the CMOS scaling roadmap faces increasing challenges. Any alternative is however facing strong competition from the extremely optimized CMOS roadmap. One of the potential directions which can […]

  • “Security of Additive Manufacturing: New Frontiers”

    Name: Mark Yampolskiy Date and Time: Friday, October 19 at 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. Location: Engineering Hall 2430 Abstract: Additive Manufacturing (AM), a.k.a. 3D printing, is a rapidly growing multibillion-dollar industry that is increasingly used to manufacture functional parts, including components of safety critical systems in the aerospace, automotive, and other industries. However, reliance on the […]

  • “SAT-based Design Debugging and Its Application to Undergraduate Circuit Experiment”

    Name: Takeshi Matsumoto Date and Time: Friday, September 7 at 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Location: Donald Bren Hall 3011 Abstract: As VLSI designs are becoming larger and more complicated, designers spend a larger amount of time for verification and debug to detect bugs in designs and avoid them. Moreover, some bugs may not be detected […]

  • “Efficient Processing when Intelligence Moves to the Edge”

    Name: Tinoosh Mohsenin Date and Time: Friday, July 20 at 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. Location: Donald Bren Hall 4011 Abstract:  Continuous collection and processing of vast amounts of data is becoming more common with the advancement of wearable sensors, Internet of Things (IoT) devices and cyber physical systems. Despite their potential significant impact, intelligent mobile technologies […]

  • “Sensors” Innovation at Intersections”

    Name: Khaled Salama Date and Time: Friday, August 3 at 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. Location: Engineering Hall 2430 Abstract:  Energy efficiency is a key requirement for wireless sensor nodes, biomedical implants, and wearable devices.

    Name: Andreas Herkersdorf Date and Time: Thursday, July 26 at 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Location: Donald Bren Hall 3011 Abstract:  Data access latencies and bandwidth bottlenecks frequently represent major limiting factors for the computational effectiveness of many-core processor architectures. This presentation introduces two conceptually complementary approaches to reduce the synchronization overheads for coherence maintenance and to […]

  • “Accurate and Stable CPU Power Modelling and Run-Time System Management”

    Name: Matthew Walker Date and Time: Friday, July 27 at 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Location: Donald Bren Hall 4011 Abstract:  Modern processors must provide an ever-increasing level of performance and are therefore including higher numbers of Heterogeneous Multi-Processing (HMP) units. Intelligent run-time control of performance and power consumption is required to extend battery-life in mobile systems, […]

  • “Are there any questions?”

    Name: Yale Patt Date and Time: Thursday, June 7 at 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. Location: Engineering Hall 2430 Abstract:  Too many seminars can be characterized as 50 minutes of lecture, followed by 5 minutes of questions. ...and the first question makes it clear that nothing the speaker said in the 50 minutes was at all […]

  • “Self-aware Computing: Combining Learning and Control to Manage Complex, Dynamic Systems”

    <stThese self-aware systems are distinguished by awareness of user goals and operating environment; they continuously monitor themselves and adapt their behavior and foundational models to ensure the goals are met despite the challenges of complexity (diverse hardware resources to be managed) and dynamics (unpredictable changes in input workload or resource availability). In this talk, I […]
