Prof. Prashant Nair: Scaling the Memory Wall

BC420 - Computing Building of EPFL EPFL, Ecublens

Towards 3D-DRAM-based Accelerators for Efficient Generative Inference Generative AI now underpins search, digital assistants, and media applications, making inference cost a first-order design constraint. Unlike traditional compute-bound workloads, large language and speech models are typically limited by memory bandwidth and capacity rather than raw arithmetic throughput. Thus, their inference cost […]

Space x Data

ELE117 EPFL

ESA's European Space Deep-Tech Innovation Centre (ESA's first office in Switzerland) is bridging Swiss scientific excellence with commercial relevance. One approach for this is to host ambitious, use-driven research programs in the topics of quantum, materials, and data science for space. With the quantum-themed program running and the materials project […]

AI and Sustainability in Practice: Challenges and Solutions

SwissTech Convention Center Rue Louis Favre 2, Ecublens

Is AI part of the climate problem or the sustainability solution? In this hands-on workshop, participants will explore its carbon footprint, discover practical tools, and co-design new pathways — including a visit to EPFL’s EcoCloud facility. Artificial Intelligence is becoming increasingly energy-intensive, with datacenters projected to consume up to 10% […]
