Low-Power Integrated Circuits and Embedded Systems Laboratory (LPiNS-Lab)
We model and develop energy-efficient algorithms and design complementary low-power processors at both the IC and RTL levels for emerging computer architectures that target large-scale parallel computations and AI workloads. Foundational and applied research work extends across diverse audiences and applications, from biomedical device innovation to re-designing in-memory device architecture. In short, in our laboratory, we are:
- Designing power-efficient processor chips and RTL-level domain-specific computer architectures (DSAs) to execute high computational workloads and massively parallel computing.
- Modeling energy-efficient deep learning algorithms to tackle the current AI training and testing bottleneck.
- Developing low-power integrated circuits and systems for next-generation biomedical instrumentations such as inkjet-printed AI-core-based respiratory bracelets and efficient computer vision models on the “edge”.
We are a group of intrigued individuals and low-key coffee connoisseurs who love to get their hands dirty!
