Human-Centric Intelligent Supercomputing

We aim at human-centric intelligent super-computing.
Its examples include, as shown in Fig. 1,
  • "Embedded Intelligent Computing" such as a medical information system, intelligent robots and advanced-safe vehicles,
  • "Big-Data Computing/High-Performance Computing" such as AI, Natural Language Processing,  Quantum Annealing Simulation and search engine.
For the purpose, we optimally combine two computational domains:
  • intelligent algorithms
  • high-speed and low-power hardware
to outperforms greatly the conventional systems that is designed in a software-only or hardware-only optimization.
 
Our major research topics are as follows:
  1. Intelligent systems such as a medical information system and intelligent robots
  2. Custom accelerators for big-data computing/high- performance computing using reconfigurable LSIs such as FPGAs.
  3. High-level synthesis for custom accelerators

  • Human-Centric Intelligent supercomputing systems

  • Global optimization across different computational domains
