School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) researchers Harsh Sharma, Ananth Kalyanaraman, and Partha Pande recently received a best paper award at the International Conference on Compilers, Architectures, and Synthesis for Embedded Systems (CASES).
The conference, part of Embedded Systems Week and held this year in Raleigh, North Carolina, is a premier forum for researchers, developers, and practitioners in the area of compilers and architectures for high-performance, low-power embedded systems, according to the CASES website. The conference features leading research in embedded processor, memory, interconnect, storage architectures, and related compiler techniques targeting performance, power, predictability, security, and reliability issues.
The WSU team received the award for their paper, “A Dataflow-aware Network-on-Interposer for CNN Inferencing in the Presence of Defective Chiplets.” Sharma, a Ph.D. student in the School of EECS, was the lead author. It was the third time that he has received a best paper award. In addition to the WSU researchers, the team also included Umit Ogras, with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
“Our paper illustrates innovative methods to partition and maintain high performance even when dealing with defective chiplets,” said Sharma. “Our approach significantly enhances performance, reduces energy consumption, and lowers fabrication costs.”
Sharma is pursuing an internship at AMD for designing next generation of chiplet systems. He expressed his gratitude for the mentorship he has received from Pande, his advisor, as well as from his collaborators.
“I’m incredibly lucky with the mentorship and support in every possible way,” he said. “Their insights made all the difference.”
