Accelerating AI Workshop 2022 – Challenges and Opportunities in Cloud and Edge Computing

May 4, 2022, Online

Description

CMC Microsystems is pleased to organize the third workshop on accelerating AI, highlighting the challenges and opportunities of AI acceleration from the cloud to the edge.

This workshop aims to bring together experts from industry and academia to share their latest achievements and innovations in the field of AI and machine learning algorithms, software, and hardware from the cloud to deeply embedded machine learning systems.

Topics

  • ML applications: Computer Vision, NLP, EDA and CAD…
  • Novel AI HW: GPUs, FPGAs and Custom Accelerators
  • Software stack: libraries, compilers, and ML frameworks
  • ML Benchmarking on Emerging Hardware
  • AI Latest trends in chip design and commercialization.

This workshop will

  • Promote innovation, adoption and early access to advanced technologies including silicon and systems for accelerating AI workloads from cloud to the edge.
  • Share insights and experiences with others; explore collaboration opportunities and connect leaders from industry to AI researchers and start-ups.
  • Influence technology selection (roadmap) and development activities of emerging AI trends.

Target Attendees

The workshop is open to professors, research associates and graduate students at Canadian universities as well as industrial attendees who wish to provide input and advice.
