Optimizing interconnects with amazing results
One of our teams has rolled out Gem5-AcceSys: an innovative framework for a system-level exploration of standard interconnects and configurable memory hierarchies. A series of tests using this new technology will be presented at the Design Automation Conference in San Francisco. In this study it has been shown that optimized interconnects can achieve up to (…)

Giovanni Ansaloni: how do you squeeze AI into power-constrained edge devices?
Dr. Giovanni Ansaloni presented a course on methodologies for algorithm optimization at HiPEAC’s ACACES24. Edge intelligence has fostered a revolution in the way information is created, analyzed and accessed, fundamentally impacting multiple fields ranging from health monitoring to augmented reality. Key to this success is the optimization of application energy/run-time/application footprints, especially in light of (…)

This collaboration is all about fueling student-driven innovation in IoT and sensing technology, and it brings together Sony’s Spresense platform and EPFL’s tech-savvy (…)
ClearSpace will use Minority Report technology from ESL
Satellites are open to attack. All communications systems are vulnerable to hackers by definition, and are protected accordingly, with hardware and software. However, because they reside outside the protection of the Earth’s atmosphere, satellites are perhaps exposed to the mightiest and most unpredictable hacker of all: the Sun. “The Sun’s radiation can affect the data (…)
