Machine Learning Hardware Design for Efficiency, Flexibility and Scalability

Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/408028

Machine learning (ML) is the driving application of the next-generation computational hardware. How to design ML hardware to achieve a high performance, efficiency, and flexibility to support fast growing ML workloads is a key challenge. Besides dataflow-optimized systolic arrays and single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) engines, efficient ML accelerators have been designed to take advantage of static and dynamic data sparsity. To accommodate the fast-evolving ML workloads, matrix engines can be integrated with an FPGA to provide the efficiency of kernel computation and the flexibility of control. To support the increasing ML model complexity, modular chiplets can be tiled on a 2.5D interposer and stacked in a 3D package. We envision that a combination of these techniques will be required to address the needs of future ML applications.

Pathway to IEEE Senior Membership

Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/417494

Senior member is the highest grade for which IEEE members can apply. IEEE members can self-nominate, or be nominated, for Senior Member grade. This talk by Kaustav Ghosal tries to demystify the process. It is part of a continued effort to help increase the nomination pool size each year, particularly from underrepresented technical disciplines, such as industry, standards, education, and underrepresented groups to enhance Equity and Diversity. Topics include: 1) IEEE senior membership grade requirements, 2) Finding a mentor/sponsor, 3) Importance of your nomination package, and 4) Reference resources Speaker(s): Kaustav Ghoshal, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/417494
