ABSTRACT: The compute demands of AI and robotics continue to rise due to the rapidly growing volume of data to be processed; the increasingly complex algorithms for higher quality of results; and the demands for energy efficiency and real-time performance. In this talk, we will discuss the design of efficient tailored hardware accelerators and the co-design of algorithms and hardware that reduce the energy consumption while delivering swift real-time and robust performance for applications including deep neural networks, data analytics with sparse tensor algebra, and autonomous navigation. Throughout the talk, we will highlight important design principles, methodologies, and tools that can facilitate an effective design process and various forms of co-design that can broaden the design <a href="http://space.BIO:" target="_blank" title="space.BIO:">space.BIO: Vivienne Sze is a professor in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at MIT.

Technical Seminar by IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society Distinguished Lecturer, Dr. Tony Chan Carusone, with the following abstract:In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, chiplets are emerging as a transformative technology, paving the way for the next generation of AI systems. Chiplets permit the integration of more processing power within a single package, and allow for new connectivity solutions so that thousands of AI accelerators can work as a cohesive unit. Optical connectivity, facilitated by chiplets, offers high-speed data transmission with lower power consumption, crucial for handling the massive data loads in AI applications. The emerging chiplet ecosystem, underwritten by high-performance die-to-die interfaces, is throwing open the doors of innovation and facilitating the next wave of AI <a href="http://scaling.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="scaling.Speaker(s):">scaling.Speaker(s): Tony Chan Carusone, Room: 3038, Bldg: Macleod Building, 2356 Main Mall, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6T 1Z4

What is 3-MUC?The 3-MUC gives undergraduate students a chance to share an interesting piece of work they have accomplished and practice their communication skills. It follows the scope of the 3 minute thesis style, but relaxes the requirement for novel research to allow a broader section of the undergraduate student body to participate. As a successful applicant, you will prepare a 3 minute presentation about your work. You are only allowed one slide to accompany your presentation as a visual aid. You will present your work to a panel of judges who will select three winners based on our judgement criteria. The winners are invited to the annual Kingston IEEE banquet dinner, where they will be awarded their <a href="http://prize.Who" target="_blank" title="prize.Who">prize.Who can apply?All undergraduate students who have an interesting piece of work to share.

Quantum technologies already exploit collective effects, yet a unified, n-channel, synergy-aware decomposition remains <a href="http://absent.The" target="_blank" title="absent.The">absent.The talk introduces a channel-level synergy functional, Syn, defined in the Stinespring representation so that it is representation-free, invariant under local unitaries, monotone under completely positive trace-preserving maps, and compositional under series, parallel and product wiring. Syn augments the Neyman-Pearson theorem by supplying a channel-level criterion that certifies when a single joint decision statistic will outperform all separable strategies. (This includes joint measurements where the subsystems are not measured simultaneously.) Consequently, it provides provable strengthening of the receiver operating characteristic over the operational false-alarm region and, in bosonic radar, translates into either achieving the same detection probability with lower transmitted energy or attaining tighter false-alarm levels at a fixed <a href="http://power.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="power.Speaker(s):">power.Speaker(s): Dr. Kyunghoon HanRoom: ME 4463 (Maker Lab), Bldg: Mackenzie, Carleton University, 1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
