Midgard, the international collaborative research initiative, has completed its run of five years. The technology pioneered in this collaboration represents a paradigm shift, questioning the fundamental virtual memory system that has endured since the 1960s. At the same time it has demonstrated a unique form of research funding, coming to […]

Researchers from EPFL, AMD, and the University of Novi Sad have uncovered a long-standing inefficiency in the algorithm that programs millions of reconfigurable chips used worldwide, a discovery that could reshape how future generations of these are designed and programmed. Many industries, including telecoms, automotive, aerospace and particle physics rely […]

Please visit our photo gallery of the Dr. Picorel’s excellent talk:

What started out as a doctoral challenge has grown, and blossomed into a technology shared across universities around Europe. As a doctoral student in Prof. David Atienza’s Embedded Systems Lab, Simone Machetti was tasked to build a modular, customizable, energy-efficient platform that could be shared with, and used by, different […]

Technology generally follows our desire to have always more accuracy. Our smartphones constantly promise more detailed images, and higher resolution video. However, in some contexts, lower resolution is better. Dr. Chang Meng of the Laboratory of Integrated Systems has a curious research goal: “My work is to introduce more harmless […]

Since the turn of the century, we most often use the word “analog” to refer to outdated technology, like radios from the pre-digital era, or dashboards with dials and needles. However, analog is coming back with a vengeance. Nowhere is this more striking than in the field of optical computing. […]

If a doctor wants to know how well a cough treatment is working, it can be useful to know exactly how frequently the patient has been coughing. However, a patient’s state of mind might influence the impression they have about this: whether they are happy or sad, tired or not, […]
