Giovanni Ansaloni: how do you squeeze AI into power-constrained edge devices?
Dr. Giovanni Ansaloni presented a course on methodologies for algorithm optimization at HiPEAC’s ACACES24. Edge intelligence has fostered a revolution in the way information is created, analyzed and accessed, fundamentally impacting multiple fields ranging from health monitoring to augmented reality. Key to this success is the optimization of application energy/run-time/application footprints, especially in light of (…)
EPFL Joins Sony’s Sensing Solution University Collaboration Program
Article by Jéssica Paiva Santos of Sony Sony’s Sensing Solution University Collaboration Program is excited to announce its partnership with the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Embedded Systems Laboratory (ESL). This collaboration is all about fueling student-driven innovation in IoT and sensing technology, and it brings together Sony’s Spresense platform and EPFL’s tech-savvy (…)
ClearSpace will use Minority Report technology from ESL
Satellites are open to attack. All communications systems are vulnerable to hackers by definition, and are protected accordingly, with hardware and software. However, because they reside outside the protection of the Earth’s atmosphere, satellites are perhaps exposed to the mightiest and most unpredictable hacker of all: the Sun. “The Sun’s radiation can affect the data (…)
AISTS Digital Technology in Sport Programme
The Digital Technology in Sport program will take place in Lausanne from the 28th Nov to the 18th December, 2024 Register
ESL-led project given award by the SDSC
A team led by Dr Jonathan Dan of the EPFL Embedded Systems Lab won the prize for Best Research Data Infrastructure at the Open Research Data for the Sciences hackathon, organised by the Swiss Data Science Center. The team developed a research data infrastructure to benchmark epileptic seizure detection algorithms on private datasets. The platform (…)

Landmark award for EcoCloud’s directors, old and new
Prof. Giovanni De Micheli, head of the Integrated Systems Laboratory (LSI), has taken over the scientific direction of the EPFL EcoCloud Center from Prof. David Atienza, head of the Embedded Systems Laboratory (ESL). Prof. De Micheli previously founded and directed the EPFL Integrated Systems Center (SI), and was co-founder and Program Leader of the Nano-Tera.ch (…)
Cooling down hotspots – 3D-ICE
3D chips are a great idea – processors placed one on top of the other, for a superfast transmission of data. The trouble is that chips heat up, and if you pile them up they heat up even faster. 3D-ICE is a powerful thermal emulator for three-dimensional computing. Version 3.1 is presented in a new (…)
Exploring open hardware/software at the cutting Edge with HiPEAC
ACACES is an annual summer school organised by the HiPEAC project (High Performance Embedded Architecture and Compilation). Giovanni Ansaloni has given a four day series of lectures at the 2024 iteration of this prestigious event Maintaining rapid growth in computing performance is key for tackling the societal challenges shaping Europe and assuring our global competitiveness (…)
