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 […]

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. […]

For computer security, enforcing the principle “do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing” is vital. Modern computers and smartphones do many things at the same time. For example, you may have a browser with one tab playing a song while in another you are […]

Faculty member Prof. Zhengmao Lu is interviewed by Michael Mitchell of EPFL A new addition to EPFL’s Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Zhenmao Lu brings fresh ideas for a sustainable future to the domain of energy transfer. Zhengmao Lu, a newly appointed Tenure Track Assistant Professor at EPFL’s School of Engineering, […]

The cloud is ever-growing and, as a consequence, data centers are multiplying in size and number. The situation is difficult to manage. To meet demand, outdated and inefficient technology is often being used to provide quick solutions. Cooling systems are frequently unwieldy and energy inefficient, with little or no use […]

EPFL researchers have just released Meditron, the world’s best performing open source Large Language Model tailored to the medical field designed to help guide clinical decision-making. Large language models (LLMs) are deep learning algorithms trained on vast amounts of text to learn billions of mathematical relationships between words (also called […]
