Heterogeneous EXascale Architectures Lab

Research Areas

We investigate machine learning (ML)-based methodologies for the design of advanced computing systems using emerging technologies to enable energy-efficient, high-performance, and reliable inference and training of emerging ML models. Our research focuses on cross-layer hardware and software co-design spanning across applications, architecture, and advanced packaging. 

Specific topics include:

  • Design of advanced computing systems using emerging technologies (e.g., compute-in-memory, silicon photonics)

  • ML for design space exploration and dynamic resource management in computing systems

  • Design for reliability in advanced packaging (e.g., 2.5D chiplets and 3D integration)
