Emerging Research Award for Golnoosh Abdollahinejad
Congratulations to doctoral researcher Golnoosh Abdollahinejad, who has won the Emerging Research Award at the 11th Future Technologies Conference in Berlin. This fantastic work demonstrated that adding uncertainty estimates, through quantile regression, actually improves accuracy in scalable federated learning, up to 1000 clients. Also cited in this research are Dr. Denisa Constantinescu and Prof. David (…)
Shaping optimization strategies with Giovanni Ansaloni
As part of the IEEE/ACM Embedded Systems Week (ESWEEK), Dr. Giovanni Ansaloni gave a talk on the following subject: How do the characteristics of application domains shape optimization strategies for computing architectures? Dr. Ansaloni examined concrete examples of domain-specific systems featuring (among others) multiple cores, reconfigurable accelerators, near-memory computing and analog crossbars. In each case, (…)

SwissChips: A national project in full swing
In conversation with Dr. Alexandre Levisse of EPFL What is the goal of SwissChips? The SwissChips initiative offers support to Universities and Universities of Applied Science in Switzerland, to carry out research in the field of integrated circuit design, commonly called chips. In Switzerland, we do not have large foundries to manufacture high performance GPU (…)
X-HEEP spreads its wings
What started out as a doctoral challenge has grown, and blossomed into a technology shared across universities around Europe. As a doctoral student in Prof. David Atienza’s Embedded Systems Lab, Simone Machetti was tasked to build a modular, customizable, energy-efficient platform that could be shared with, and used by, different teams designing low-power devices. “I (…)
Taking EMBA on a visit to the sources of digital transformation
Participants of the EMBA program at the College of Management of Technology had the opportunity to discover a selection of the latest technologies developed in EPFL’s research laboratories. This enabled these professionals from different backgrounds to gain a better understanding of the long process between developing a cutting-edge product and bringing it to market. There’s (…)
