For many years, Prof. John Thome of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering pioneered the use of heat sensing technology, and collaborated with Prof. David Atienza of the Institute of Electrical Engineering to model ways in which 3D chips could be cooled efficiently, using techniques like micro-channels of liquids. This work […]

Prof. David Atienza presents the national initiative SwissChips and his role in this massive collaboration. Video by Dr. Alex Levisse and Alex Widerski More on SwissChips: SwissChips – a national initiative in full swing SwissChips and EcoCloud SwissChips official website

There are thousands of courses on offer at EPFL, covering topics as far apart as socio-environmental learning, epilepsy monitoring and urban digital twins. We decided to have a closer look at a very special course, one which brings together the three fundamental principles of EPFL Institutes: education, research and industry. […]

The talk by Dr. Andrea Bonetti, EPFL alumnus and currently AI specialist at Sony, was a great success! Thanks to all who took part.

In conversation with Dr. Alexandre Levisse of EPFL What is the goal of SwissChips? The SwissChips initiative offers support to Universities and Universities of Applied Science in Switzerland, to carry out research in the field of integrated circuit design, commonly called chips. In Switzerland, we do not have large foundries […]

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 […]
