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, […]
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 […]
The Ph.D. Forum at the Design Automation Conference is a poster session co-sponsored by both ACM SIGDA and IEEE CEDA for Ph.D. students to present and discuss their dissertation research with people in the EDA community. It has become one of the premier forums for Ph.D. students in design automation to get feedback on their research and for […]
Name: Jiang Wan Date: Friday, June 1 Time: 3:00 — 5:00 PM Location: EH 3206 Committee: Fadi Kurdahi (Chair), Mohammad Al Faruque, Rainer Doemer Abstract: Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are integration of computation and physical processes connected through networks. The high complexity of cross-domain engineering in combination with the pressure for system innovation, higher quality, time-to-market, and […]
Name: Korosh Vatanparvar Date: Wednesday, May 30th Time: 3:00 — 5:00 PM Location: Calit2 3008 Committee: Professor Prof. Mohammad Al Faruque (Chair) Abstract: Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) were presented as a solution to multidisciplinary integration and control in embedded systems. They provide seamless interactions between cyber and physical domains, enabling more intelligent and complicated control applications. However, CPS […]
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 […]
Name: Ahmed Hemani Date and Time: June 6, 2018 at 4:00 p.m. Location: Engineering Hall 2430 Committee: Nikil Dutt (Host) Abstract: Norman Jouppi while introducing the record long list of authors of Google’s TPU paper at ISCA 2017 remarked – one needs a village to make a chip. This talk proposes a VLSI design method that […]
Name: Tiago Mück Date: May 16, 2018 Time: 2:00pm Location: Donald Bren Hall 2011 Committee: Nikil Dutt (Chair), Alex Nicolau, Tony Givargis Abstract: Effective exploitation of power-performance tradeoffs in heterogeneous many-core platforms (HMPs), requires intelligent on-chip resource management at different layers, in particular at the operating system level. Operating systems need to continuously analyze the application […]
<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 […]
Name: Zhi Chen Date: May 15, 2018 Time: 2:30pm Location: Donald Bren Hall 3011 Committee: Professor Alex Nicolau (Chair), Alex Veidenbaum, Nikil Dutt Abstract: Modern processors continue to aggressively scale down the feature size and reduce voltage levels to run faster and be more energy efficient. However, this trend also poses significant reliability concern as it makes transistors […]
