Kasra Moazzemi receives 2nd place at SIGDA PhD Forum

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 […]

“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, […]

“Regional Coherence and Near Memory Acceleration in Distributed-Shared-Memory Architectures”

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 […]

“Sensors” Innovation at Intersections”
