Domain Specific Computing (DSC) - Complete session with all the talks

The end of Moore’s law is heavily limiting CPUs performance scaling at a reasonable energy budget. Therefore, at NECSTLab we explore the architecture research area of narrowing the computational domain to a single one as energy-efficient high-performance solutions.
We explore areas of design methodologies and automation of domain specialization. This research line spans from spatial multi-domain architectures to domain-specific architectures and their custom instruction sets, from automatic design flows for dynamically configurable edge accelerators to cross-platform frameworks for context-specific architectures. We mainly exploit FPGAs as prototyping platforms for fixed architectures or as driving devices for unique reconfigurability capabilities. In this regard, we exploit them as adaptable architectures for continuously evolving domains able to keep pace with the latest advancements.
