Deep Learning: It’s Not All About Recognizing Cats and Dogs
We live in the era of machine learning. As Geoff Hinton and Yann LeCun emphasized in their recent Turing lecture, the rise of machine learning (ML) was in great part facilitated by cheap and easy to use high-performance computing that has allowed ML models to be...
The Winds of Architecture Changes at the USENIX ATC 2019
This blog post gives a glimpse of the computer systems research papers presented at the USENIX Annual Technical Conference (ATC) 2019, with an emphasis on systems that use new hardware architectures. USENIX ATC is a top-tier venue with a broad range of systems...
Computer Architecture for Brain-Computer Interfaces
Earlier this year, Elon Musk’s Neuralink demonstrated an implantable brain-computer interface (BCI) capable of recording electrophysiological activity from several thousands of biological neurons with high fidelity and signal resolution. Such implantable BCIs offer...
Accelerator-Level Parallelism (ALP)
The demand for computing performance continues to grow exponentially in part due to video and machine learning processing for applications like augmented/virtual reality and self-driving vehicles. However, the underlying advances (Moore’s Law and Dennard...Subscribe
