Onur Mutlu honoured with Facebook Award
Computer science professor Onur Mutlu received a Facebook AI System Hardware/Software Co-Design research award.
Onur Mutlu, Professor in Computer Science and Head of the SAFARI Research Group, and his team received one of this year’s Facebook AI System Hardware/Software Co-Design research awards. The researchers were honoured for their work on “Realistic Benefits of Near-Data Processing for Emerging ML Workloads”.
About the Award
In January, Facebook invited university faculty to respond to a call for research proposals on AI System Hardware/Software Co-Design. Co-design implies simultaneous design and optimization of several aspects of the system, including hardware and software, to achieve a set target for a given system metric, such as throughput, latency, power, size, or any combination thereof. The selection committee was composed of 10 engineers representing a wide range of AI hardware/algorithm co-design research areas.
