Krishna was among the eight winners who were selected from 88 worldwide submissions. \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe title of Krishna\u0026rsquo;s award-winning project is\u0026nbsp;\u0026ldquo;ML-Driven HW-SW Co-Design of Efficient Tensor Core Architectures.\u0026rdquo; In this project, co-design implies simultaneous design and optimization of several aspects of the system, including hardware and software, to achieve a set target for a given system metric, such as throughput, latency, power, size, or any combination these factors.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EArtificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning have been particularly amenable to such co-design processes across various parts of the software and hardware stack, leading to a variety of novel algorithms, numerical optimizations, and AI hardware. Krishna\u0026rsquo;s proposal focuses on\u0026nbsp;creating an automated machine learning (ML)-driven closed-loop system to generate custom AI hardware platforms for the target algorithms and\/or performance\/energy constraints using a library of lego-like heterogeneous hardware building blocks.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EKrishna has been an assistant professor in the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), where he leads the Synergy Lab. He and his team focus on\u0026nbsp;architecting\u0026nbsp;next-generation intelligent computer systems and interconnection networks for emerging application areas such as machine learning. Krishna has received a Google Faculty Research Award and an NSF CISE Research Initiation Initiative Award. He recently had one of his papers selected as an\u0026nbsp;\u003Cem\u003EIEEE Micro\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/em\u003ETop Pick from computer architecture conferences and a second paper was selected as an Honorable Mention; Krishna\u0026rsquo;s work will be acknowledged in the May\/June 2019 issue of\u0026nbsp;\u003Cem\u003EIEEE Micro\u003C\/em\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EECE Assistant Professor\u0026nbsp;Tushar Krishna has been chosen as one of the recipients of\u0026nbsp;Facebook Research\u0026#39;s Faculty Award for AI System Hardware\/Software Co-Design.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"ECE Assistant Professor\u00a0Tushar Krishna has been chosen as one of the recipients of\u00a0Facebook Research\u0027s Faculty Award for AI System Hardware\/Software Co-Design."}],"uid":"27241","created_gmt":"2019-05-16 18:04:39","changed_gmt":"2019-05-16 18:04:39","author":"Jackie Nemeth","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2019-05-16T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2019-05-16T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"490461":{"id":"490461","type":"image","title":"Tushar Krishna","body":null,"created":"1453827600","gmt_created":"2016-01-26 17:00:00","changed":"1475895245","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:54:05","alt":"Tushar Krishna","file":{"fid":"204433","name":"tushar_krishna.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/tushar_krishna_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/tushar_krishna_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":30703,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/tushar_krishna_0.jpg?itok=qdXz5K4E"}}},"media_ids":["490461"],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/faculty-staff-directory\/tushar-krishna","title":"Tushar Krishna"},{"url":"https:\/\/synergy.ece.gatech.edu","title":"Synergy Lab"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu","title":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering "},{"url":"http:\/\/www.gatech.edu","title":"Georgia Tech"},{"url":"https:\/\/research.fb.com\/announcing-the-winners-of-the-ai-system-hardware-software-co-design-research-awards\/","title":"Facebook Research\u0027s Faculty Award for AI System Hardware\/Software Co-Design"}],"groups":[{"id":"1255","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"categories":[{"id":"134","name":"Student and Faculty"},{"id":"8862","name":"Student Research"},{"id":"135","name":"Research"},{"id":"153","name":"Computer Science\/Information Technology and Security"},{"id":"145","name":"Engineering"}],"keywords":[{"id":"173453","name":"Tushar Krishna"},{"id":"109","name":"Georgia Tech"},{"id":"166855","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"id":"1506","name":"faculty"},{"id":"276","name":"Awards"},{"id":"179317","name":"Synergy Lab"},{"id":"10835","name":"Facebook"},{"id":"181323","name":"Facebook Research Faculty Award"},{"id":"9167","name":"machine learning"},{"id":"167028","name":"hardware"},{"id":"167449","name":"software"},{"id":"181324","name":"tensor core architectures"},{"id":"109581","name":"deep learning"},{"id":"2556","name":"artificial intelligence"},{"id":"181325","name":"automated machine learning (ML)-driven closed-loop system"},{"id":"181326","name":"lego-like heterogeneous hardware building blocks"},{"id":"181327","name":"next-generation intelligent computer systems"},{"id":"181328","name":"interconnection networks"}],"core_research_areas":[{"id":"39431","name":"Data Engineering and Science"}],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EJackie Nemeth\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESchool of Electrical and Computer Engineering\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E404-894-2906\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
