Domain-Specific Architectures for AI: The Rise of Neural Processing Units
Domain-Specific Architectures for AI: The Rise of Neural Processing Units
The Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Microelectronics (IAIM) is collaborating with the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of South Alabama to host the IAIM Distinguished Lecture Series.
"Domain-Specific Architectures for AI: The Rise of Neural Processing Units," is presented by Dr. Ali Haidous from AMD.
The lecture will be on May 9th, 2025, from 2:00 -3:00 PM in Shelby Hall room 3104. Refreshments will be provided. Faculty and students are invited to join.
Abstract: This presentation will examine how NPUs address fundamental computational bottlenecks in AI processing through novel memory hierarchies, parallel processing capabilities, and reduced precision arithmetic. I will discuss the technical advantages these architectures offer for both inference and training, particularly for deep learning applications that demand high computational throughput with strict power constraints. I will highlight recent advancements in NPU design, implementation challenges, and real-world deployment considerations.
Quantum Communications: Applications and Challenges
Quantum Communications: Applications and Challenges
Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Microelectronics (IAIM) is collaborating with the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of South Alabama to host the IAIM Distinguished Lecture Series. The first lecture is "Quantum Communications: Applications and Challenges," and the presenter is Dr. Jianqing Liu of North Carolina State University.
The lecture will be on March 14th, 2025, from 12:30 -1:30 PM in Shelby Hall room 4205. Pizza will be provided. All Faculty and graduate students are invited to join.
Abstract: Quantum communications is an emerging communication paradigm with no parallel in classical systems. It leverages the unique quantum properties of light to enable unconditionally secure communications and to support new engineering applications such as distributed quantum computing and sensing. In this talk, I will begin with an introduction to the basics of quantum communications and the progress of worldwide quantum communication systems. Then, I will discuss the technical challenges and open questions in the field, leading up to a presentation of our group’s recent work on distributing quantum cluster states through noisy quantum channels.
