Nanoscale Optoelectronic AI Processing
In a previous blog post, we summarized some advances in optical computing that enable the implementation of low-energy optical-convolutional layers using phase masks and angle-sensitive pixels. Such approaches also present multiple challenges, such as lack of...
Data Engineering for Everyone
The rise of open-source software necessitated a software-engineering revolution (new standards, tools, licenses, etc.) to overcome the problems facing large distributed teams working on enormous code bases. Today, machine learning (ML) builds atop this vibrant and...
Languages, Tools, and Techniques for Accelerator Design
FPGA-based accelerators have opened up a new frontier for accelerator design; instead of spending months building and fabricating silicon chips, programmers can buy a cloud instance to run custom hardware accelerators within hours. With the remarkable new hardware, there is a need for remarkable new software.
Point Clouds are Eating the World, One Application at a Time
A point cloud literally means a collection of points. One can think of a point as a sample of a surface, and each point is represented by the [x, y, z] coordinates in the 3D space. A point could have other attributes, such as normal, RGB color, albedo, and...Subscribe
