Performance and Energy Benefits of MRDIMMs
Research on the performance and energy characteristics of MRDIMMs.
Victor Xirau Guardans
Different Perspectives of Memory System Simulation
Investigates inaccuracies in memory simulators compared to real hardware and proposes a validation methodology evaluating memory performance from multiple perspectives. Identifies the CPU-memory interface as the primary source of discrepancies and implements corrections across widely used simulators.
FAiNDER: FAiND the Best Hardware for Your AI Application
Profiling AI workloads and mapping them to hardware, developed with Micron.
Unsupervised Deep Learning Architectures for Anomaly Detection in Brain MRI Scans
Presents unsupervised deep-learning methodologies for anomaly detection and segmentation in brain MRI scans, enabling the identification of abnormalities without relying on extensively annotated datasets.
Active compute memory: enhancing memory and processing in near-memory architectures for vector classification
Explores near-memory processing architectures for vector classification workloads, evaluating the speed-versus-accuracy tradeoff in Active Compute Memory to optimize performance for memory-bound applications.
