SUMMARY:For ML and With ML: The New Normal in System Design - Lizy Kurian 
 John\, UT Austin
DTSTART:20240524T100000Z

CONTACT:Timothy M Jones
DESCRIPTION:The emerging machine learning (ML) applications put exploding 
 demands on hardware systems\, and it is important to deliver high throughp
 ut\,  low latency and low energy consumption\, in order to sustain the thr
 iving development of cognitive systems and applications. Designing efficie
 nt circuits and systems to enable\, support\, and harness the power of mac
 hine intelligence is important to keep the present momentum of intelligent
  systems. In this talk\, I will describe some of our research on providing
  efficient hardware infrastructure for ML.\n\n \n\nIn addition to designin
 g systems for ML\, we also conduct research on using ML in designing and e
 valuating systems.  In this talk I’ll describe a few examples on using M
 L for pre-silicon performance evaluation during design of computer systems
 .\n\n \n\nBio:\nLizy Kurian John  is Truchard  Foundation Chair in Enginee
 ring at the University of Texas at Austin. She received her Ph. D in Compu
 ter Engineering from the Pennsylvania State University. Her research inter
 ests include workload characterization\, performance evaluation\,  memory 
 systems\, reconfigurable architectures\, and high performance architecture
 s for emerging workloads. She is recipient of many awards including Joe J.
  King Professional Engineering Achievement Award (2023)\, The Pennsylvania
  State University Outstanding Engineering Alumnus Award (2011)\, the NSF C
 AREER award\, UT Austin Engineering Foundation Faculty Award\,  Halliburto
 n\, Brown and Root Engineering Foundation Young Faculty Award\, University
  of Texas Alumni Association (Texas Exes) Teaching Award\, etc.  She has c
 oauthored books on Digital Systems Design using VHDL (Cengage Publishers\,
  2007\, 2017)\,  a book on Digital Systems Design using Verilog (Cengage P
 ublishers\, 2014)  and has edited 4 books including a book on Computer Per
 formance Evaluation and Benchmarking.  She holds 16 US patents and is an I
 EEE Fellow\, ACM Fellow\, Fellow of AAAS\, and Fellow of the National Acad
 emy of Inventors (NAI).\n
