01:00 - 03:00pm

Algorithms and Specializers for Provably Optimal Implementations with Resilience and Efficiency (ASPIRE)
The ASPIRE project is a five-year collaborative effort attacking the challenges of a new era, where pervasive application-specific specialization of software and hardware is the only path to computational efficiency.  Applications must be restructured to use the most energy-efficient algorithms, and the resulting code must be highly tuned to the underlying hardware. Even though power constraints limit how many transistors can be active, continuing increases in transistor budgets allow architects to consider providing highly specialized accelerators for dramatic improvements in performance and energy efficiency for key computations. We will be hosting a poster session during the BEARS Research Centers Open House.
