internetofthings, presentationvideo, research, wearable

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 (…)

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 (…)

Cooling down hotspots – 3D-ICE

memory, research, thermalaware, thermalsoc

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 (…)
