Extending quantum systems with optical interconnects (invited)

As quantum systems scale, the challenge of connecting qubits with high fidelity communication links looms large. In the short term, traditional VLSI packaging technologies are being adapted to the unique material constraints of the various qubit ...

SESSION: Keynote session 2
invited-talk
Wafer scale interconnect and pathfinding for machine learning hardware (invited)

The extreme compute requirements of Machine Learning (ML) drives an entirely new generation of hardware. The very compute-intensive ML training is generally done in data centers using re-purposed GPUs. This provides cost-efficient floating-point compute ...

SESSION: NoCs (2 x 25 min.)
invited-talk
Analytical modeling of NoCs for fast simulation and design exploration (invited)

Networks-On-Chip are widely used in modern System-on-Chips to provide necessary communication between growing number of IP blocks. They are paramount to performance and power as they constitute primary shared resources in the systems. Modern system-...

invited-talk
Role of on-chip networks in building domain-specific architectures (DSAs) for sparse computations (invited)

DSAs for machine learning (ML) such as Google TPU, Microsoft Brainwave, Xilinx xDNN are becoming prominent because of high energy-efficiency and performance. These DSAs perform dense linear algebra efficiently by minimizing data movement, exploiting ...

Revisiting inherent noise floors for interconnect prediction
Article No.: 10, Pages 1–7https://doi.org/10.1145/3414622.3431907

Today's synthesis, placement and routing (SP&R) tools routinely handle millions of instances. Accurate prediction of outcomes is needed to avoid long wasted runtimes from, e.g., unroutable floor-plans or placements. However, tool outputs have inherent ...
