August Ning, Doctoral Assistant Princeton University Host: Babak Falsafi, PARSA Recently events such as global chip shortages, semiconductor subsidies, and the rise of large scale machine learning have emphasized the importance of semiconductors in our everyday lives. Recent regulations by the United States of America placed export controls on flagship […]
Venez découvrir l'univers d'Utop’IA, une bande dessinée éditée par EPFL Press qui explore les enjeux environnementaux de l’intelligence artificielle. Ce projet, initié par le Centre LEARN, s’appuie sur un comité scientifique d’experts et d'expertes en IA, en durabilité et en sciences de l’apprentissage. Programme: Discussions avec le dessinateur Herji, les membres […]
The first annual SwissChips event will take place at the Landesmuseum in Zurich, in the modern Willy G.S. Hirzel auditorium. This event will bring together SwissChips researchers, universities of applied sciences and external collaborators, as well as industry leaders for a day of talks, posters, networking and discussion. Our vision […]
Hardware specialization is increasingly essential to meet the performance and energy demands of modern applications. High-level synthesis (HLS) has emerged as a key enabling technology, allowing designers to rapidly generate specialized accelerators while exploring complex trade-offs between computation, communication, and memory. Significant challenges remain, however, including the need to orchestrate […]
Dr. Javier Picorel of Huawei In 2020 Dr. Picorel gave a talk at the EcoCloud Annual Event on Edge Computing at Huawei. Now he returns with a fascinating presentation about the battle of the interconnects. As traditional scale-up interconnects like NVIDIA’s NVLink and CXL extend beyond single nodes to span […]

An Industrial Perspective on Gaining a Competitive Edge Through Automation The growing complexity of modern chips and the pressure to maintain a competitive edge in industry are pushing traditional electronic design automation (EDA) tools to their limits, increasing the need for more customizable and scalable design methodologies. As the demand […]
Join us as we welcome Miguel Peón Quirós (EPFL EcoCloud), Denisa Constantinescu (ESL - Embedded Systems Lab) Rubén Rodríguez Álvarez (ESL) and Stasa Kostic (ESL) for a new session on how they leveraged hardware–software co-design to foster creativity and critical thinking in their course. They will share how students dealt […]
In collaboration with the Applied Machine Learning Days, we will explore holistic approaches to sustainable computing, from renewable energy integration and advanced cooling in data centers to hardware efficiency with custom accelerators, energy storage solutions, heat reuse, and the broader vision of sustainable AI. As AI demand continues to rapidly […]
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% […]
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 […]
