■ Abstract : In this talk I will introduce some of my recent work on domain-specific architectures and systems, especially in the domains of machine learning and data analytics. With the end of Moore’s Law and Dennard Scaling, specialization of hardware, algorithm and software stack has become the primary source of additional performance, and we start seeing a “Cambrian explosion” of novel computer architectures. With this trend my research group has recently proposed a variety of hardware accelerators and/or specialized software stacks in these domains, some of which I will briefly introduce at the beginning of my talk. And then, I will present in greater depth a couple of case studies of hardware/software co-design—one from machine learning and the other from big data analytics.
