The second, led by Geonhwa in collaboration with Meta, presents a deep characterization of data compression in Meta’s datacenters, and came out of his internship there. March 2023: We presented two tutorials at ASPLOS 2023 on ASTRA-sim2.0 and STONNE-OMEGAįebruary 2023: Our lab has two papers accepted at ISPASS 2023!! The first, led by William, Taekyung and Saeed (in collaboration with Intel and Meta) introduces the next version of our ASTRA-sim simulator with support for modeling hierarchical networks and disaggregated Systems for large-model training at scale.Congrats Dr.Kao! Very well deserved recognition. Felix’s PhD thesis “ Domain-aware Genetic Algorithms for Hardware and Mapping Co-Optimization for Efficient DNN Acceleration“ developed several research artifacts/tools – Gamma, ConfuciuX, Digamma, Magma, FLAT – that are actively being used by industry and academic researchers for design space exploration and optimization of HW accelerators for ML. April 2023: Our lab’s alum Sheng-Chun (Felix) Kao won the “Best PhD Thesis” award from the Sigma Xi Scientific Honor Society’s Georgia Institute of Technology chapter.
