Best Poster award for Epilsepsy Monitoring Framework
Dr Jonathan Dan has received the a Best Paper Award at Data Science for the Sciences (DS4S), a conference organized by the Swiss Data Science Center (SDSC) and the University of Bern (UniBE). SzCORE is a framework for the validation of epileptic seizure detection algorithms, another step forward in the ongoing research carried out at (…)
HEEPocrates featured in EUROPRACTICE report
An article on the HEEPocrates chip has been published in the EUROPRACTICE Activity Report 2023. EUROPRACTICE was launched by the European Commission in 1995 as a successor of EUROCHIP (1989-1995) to enhance European industrial competitiveness in the global market. A detailed breakdown of the chip and its component processes and features is presented in the (…)
Predicting the future with CloudProphet
If we are going to reduce the carbon footprint of data centers we need to use computing resources more efficiently. If processes always made use of data center facilities in a regular way, it would be an easy game. However, the resources of a data center are used by customers (more often customers of customers) (…)

X-HEEP community is growing fast: X-Agora at EPFL
The Internet of Things is expanding at an incredible rate, and consequently demands for ever smaller intelligent hardware are constantly increasing. The Embedded Systems Lab has collaborated with other EPFL teams and EcoCloud to design X-HEEP: a RISC-V chip which is aimed at tiny platforms with big jobs to do. The X-HEEP platform is open (…)
WaSTeLeSS – using AI and IoT to track every drop of water
Water is a valuable commodity: Dr. Michael Burry, who predicted (and profited from) the sub-prime crisis, famously turned his attention to investing in water thereafter. By 2050 the United Nations World Water Development Report predicts that nearly 6 billion people will suffer from clean water scarcity. In an effort to minimize the waste of water, (…)
Heating Bits – an EPFL collaboration
Five labs are collaborating on Heating Bits, an initiative to get ultimate levels of control over our data centers. Prof. Mario Paolone spoke to EcoCloud in detail about this exciting initiative.
