Help us define the next generation of reconfigurable systems
With the increasing diversity of domains using AI/ML-based applications, there is a growing diversity of workload requirements from electronic systems. While heterogeneous computing systems (CPU, GPU, and NPU accelerators) provide some level of optimization, the static nature of computation, communication, and memory elements limits the level of utilization for emerging workloads. Similarly, state-of-the-art reconfigurable systems (FPGAs, CGRAs, etc.) focus on runtime reconfiguration targeted at functionality modifications only.
The student will be working on a workload-aware system-level exploration framework. The project will involve identifying system-level designs that can leverage existing reconfigurable technologies, across computation, communication, and memory, to provide optimized PPAC (power, performance, area, and cost) trade-offs for a set of workloads. The project will focus more on the memory aspects of FPGA-based systems.
