  • Andrea Bonetti of Sony: AI for Chip Design

    BC420 - Computing Building of EPFL EPFL, Ecublens, Switzerland

    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 […]

  • AI and Energy: Building a Sustainable Future

    SwissTech Convention Center Rue Louis Favre 2, Ecublens, EPFL

    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 […]

  • AI and Sustainability in Practice: Challenges and Solutions

    SwissTech Convention Center Rue Louis Favre 2, Ecublens, EPFL

    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% […]

  • 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 […]

  • Prof. Prashant Nair: Scaling the Memory Wall

    BC420 - Computing Building of EPFL EPFL, Ecublens, Switzerland

    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 […]

  • Prof. Luca Carloni of Columbia: Agile and Collaborative System-on-Chip Design with Open-Source Hardware Platforms

    BC420 - Computing Building of EPFL EPFL, Ecublens, Switzerland

    Open-source hardware can play a unique role for the semiconductor industry in the age of sustainable AI. It can enable design reuse, foster collaboration, and support workforce development. ESP (Embedded Scalable Platforms) is an open-source research platform for system-on-chip (SoC) design that combines a modular architecture with an agile design […]
