Accelerator Architecture: Fusion-Aware Mapper (MIT)


Researchers from MIT published "Fast and Fusiest: An Optimal Fusion-Aware Mapper for Accelerator Modeling and Evaluation." Abstract "The latency and energy of tensor algebra accelerators depend on how data movement and operations are scheduled (i.e., mapped) onto accelerators, so determining the potential of an accelerator architecture requires both a performance model and a mapper to sea... » read more

Manufacturing Bits: Sept. 9


Fusion energy The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced $29 million in funding for several projects to develop fusion energy technology. The projects will focus on the components, materials and technologies to develop a long-awaited but elusive net-energy-gain “fusion core.” For years, companies, governments and universities have been working on fusion power technology. Fu... » read more

Animal robots invade London The London Science Museum will premiere U-CAT, an underwater robot turtle designed to penetrate shipwrecks. In the exhibit, the museum will also showcase several robots that resemble an eel, bat, cheetah cub, tumbleweed, tuna, salamander and other creatures. Meanwhile, built by the Centre for Biorobotics at Tallinn University of Technology, U-CAT’s locomotio... » read more
