📢 A reminder that I am looking for a capable and ambitious researcher for my #EPSRC #NIA #project on Carbon-Aware Scalable Processing from early next year. Applications for the #PDRA/#RA position are due on 21-Nov-2024 at 23:45h UK time: https://t.co/RU8eWwv8w8 📢 #hiring

Great talk yesterday by @ps0mas on a full room! Come and find him today at the poster session in the morning to learn more about Elastic Translations! #MICRO2024 @cslab_ntua

Universities should be spaces of free expression, not silenced by force. This was the European Researcher's Night, a public university event meant to engage the community. This is madness.

[Nikela Papadopoulou @_nikela_]

What was meant to be an open outreach event at @ntua was shut down by force, with armed police guarding the doors, just because of a peaceful protest for Palestine by the researchers’ union at their own night. This is a disgrace.

- Multicore chips with long vectors and smaller L2 caches can offer high throughput/area to CNNs

[Nikela Papadopoulou @_nikela_]

Greetings from #ICPP2024 after a successful presentation of our work (cc @miquel_pericas) on co-designing convolutions and long vector RISC-V CPUs for CNN model serving (https://t.co/siEfZmJHsf)

- Algorithm selection per layer can boost the performance of CNNs by 2x ⬇️

Reproducibility matters! Consider joining the effort to evaluate artifacts, to ensure robust and reliable results. Your expertise can make a difference.

[Thaleia Dimitra Doudali @ThaleiaDimitra]

Me, @portokalidis and Christian Pinto are chairing the artifact evaluation committee for @EurosysConf #EuroSys2025. We welcome self-nominations for committee members! 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️

[PhD Voice - Independently Run @PhDVoice]

The fact that papers, that are clearly plagiarizing AI, made it through the peer review process says a lot about the quality and value of the current peer review process.

[HPC Guru @HPC_Guru]

The boom in demand for #AI has led to a surge in focus on #datacenter capacity, with extreme stress on electricity grids, generation capacity, and the environment

GPU Flops-per-byte went crazy over the years. It's even more insane if you plot this for interconnect (PCIE, NVLink, XeLink etc) bandwidth

We were close to 1:1 when the first floating point shaders were introduced in 2002 on Radeon 9700 Pro.

Re-balancing flops/byte to more saner levels should yield compelling performance/$/watt improvement for AI workloads (probably most GPU workloads)

[AsHES Workshop @AsHESWorks]

Deadline approaching in less than a week! Time to finalize and submit your work on AsHES on January 26th!

[Nikela Papadopoulou @_nikela_]

Remember our work, PARALiA, for multi-GPU BLAS? Here is @PetrosAnastasi6 from @cslab_ntua presenting results for communication-optimized, multi-GPU, high-performance, energy-efficient GEMM with PARALiA, at @hipeac Session 2 on Runtime Optimization!

[Nikela Papadopoulou @_nikela_]

Do you run GEMM on multiple GPUs? Want to speed it up by ~70% and save some energy? Have your cake and eat it too with PARALiA, a new heterogeneous BLAS runtime by @PetrosAnastasi6.
