CogArch @ ISCA 2025

9th workshop on Cognitive Architectures (CogArch 2025)
co-located with ISCA 2025
Tokyo, Japan

CogArch solicits formative ideas and new product offerings in the general space of AI systems that covers all the design aspects of cognitive systems, with particular focus this year on the adoption of chiplets as a promising way to support large-scale generative AI.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

• 2.5D/3D chiplet architectures, along with wafer scaling and various heterogeneous integration methods, including optical heterogeneous integration, to create scalable frameworks for generative AI models.
• Development of software and compiler frameworks for large-scale deployment of generative AI models.
• Hardware-software co-design for commercially deployed AI hardware acceleration frameworks.
• Accelerators and micro-architectural support for LLMs.
• Reliability and safety considerations, and security against adversarial attacks in cognitive architectures.
• Techniques for improving energy efficiency of AI applications, and battery life extension and endurance in mobile AI architectures.
• AI/ML for fast system modeling and AI/ML as design methodology.
• Privacy-preserving inference on AI models.
• Prototype demonstrations in specific application domains: e.g., natural language processing and speech, protein folding, drug discovery, computer vision, code generation, music making, as well as applications of interest to defense and homeland security.
