When AI Enters the Architecture Design Loop, What Counts as a Contribution?
AI is starting to shape architectural mechanisms, workloads, and evaluation. To make sense of it, we need a compact, shared way to preserve enough of that process for other groups to evaluate and build on AI-assisted claims. At the 53rd ISCA in Raleigh, AI for...
Computer Architecture’s AlphaZero Moment is Here
For decades, we have designed chips in fundamentally the same way: human intuition applied to a vanishingly small slice of an impossibly large design space. That paradigm worked when Moore’s Law was lifting everything. We could afford to be wrong. We could...
To Sparsify or To Quantize: A Hardware Architecture View
The debate of sparsity versus quantization has made its rounds in the ML optimization community for many years. Now, with the Generative AI revolution, the debate is intensifying. While these might both seem like simple mathematical approximations to an AI researcher,...
All in on MatMul? Don’t Put All Your Tensors in One Basket!
Matrix multiplication dominates AI hardware and research. Betting everything on MatMul risks an innovation monoculture — it’s time to diversify our compute bets.
