Every year, Matsuo-Iwasawa Laboratory, Graduate School of Engineering, The University of Tokyo, organizes a Deep Learning Lecture Series for the general public. Prof. Kosuge was invited and gave a lecture titled “Semiconductor Ecosystem Supporting the Evolution of LLM.”. Details can be found Here.
At ESSERC 2024, our ex-member Dr. Shiba presented the results of his research on low-power AI processors. The method involves dynamically adjusting the operating range of the ADC in accordance with the neural network pruning ratio. A prototype SRAM-based compute in memory chip was fabricated with 28 nm CMOS process node by our selves. This is a joint research project with TSMC. Congratulations!
Our paper on low-power AI processors has been accepted to IEEE ESSERC (9/9~9/12, Belgium)!
Our Low-power AI Compute-in-Memory (CiM) paper has been accepted to IEEE Journal of the Electron Devices Society.
We presented the latest research results on area-saving AI processor at IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS’24), Singapore. This technology adaptively switches between coarse- and fine-grain approximations of nonlinear functions, reducing the circuit area of nonlinear function processing by up to 93% while preventing accuracy degradation.

In April 2024, lab members visited IBM and Stanford University to hold an international joint research workshop. For more details, please click here.
