Focused on parallel and distributed computingThu, Feb 21, 2013 @ 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: TBA, TBA
Talk Title: TBA
Series: EE598 Seminar Course
Abstract: Weekly seminars given by researchers in academia and industry including senior doctoral students in EE, CS and ISI covering current research related to parallel and distributed computation including parallel algorithms, high performance computing, scientific computation, application specific architectures, multi-core and many-core architectures and algorithms, application acceleration, reconfigurable computing systems, data intensive systems, Big Data and cloud computing.
Biography: Prerequisite: Students are expected to be familiar with basic concepts at the level of graduate level courses in Computer Engineering and Computer Science in some of these topic areas above. Ph.D. students in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering and Computer Science can automatically enroll. M.S. students can enroll only with permission of the instructor. To request permission send a brief mail to the instructor in text format with the subject field ââ¬ÅEE 598ââ¬Â. The body of the mail (in text format) should include name, degree objective, courses taken at USC and grades obtained, prior educational background, and relevant research background, if any.
Requirements for CR:
1. Attending at least 10 seminars during the semester
There will be a sign-in sheet and a sign-out sheet at every seminar. All students must sign-in (before 2:00pm) and sign-out (after 3:00pm). The sign-in sheet will not be available after 2:00pm, and the sign-out sheet will not be available before 3:00pm.
2. Submitting a written report for at least 5 seminars
The written report for each seminar must be 1-page single line spaced format with font size of 12 (Times) or 11 (Arial) without any figures, tables, or graphs. The report must be submitted no later than 1 week after the corresponding seminar, and must be handed only to the instructor either on the seminar times or during office hours. Late reports will not be considered.
The report must summarize studentââ¬â¢s own understanding of the seminar, and should contain the following:
- Your name and submission date [1 line]
- Title of the seminar, name of the speaker, and seminar date [1 line]
- Background of the work (e.g., applications, prior research, etc.) [1 paragraph]
- Highlights of the approaches presented in the seminar [1-2 paragraphs]
- Main results presented in the seminar [1-2 paragraphs]
- Conclusion (your own conclusion and not what was given by the speaker) [1 paragraph]
Reviewing papers related to the topic of the seminar, and incorporating relevant findings in the
reports (e.g., in the conclusion section) is encouraged. In such cases, make sure to clearly indicate
the reference(s) used to derive these conclusions.

EE 598: ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING RESEARCH SEMINAR 6
Thu, Feb 21, 2013 @ 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Mohammad Abdel-Majeed and Hyeran Jeon, PhD Students, Electrical Engineering, USC Viterbi School of Engineering
Talk Title: Energy Efficient and Reliable GPGPU Architecture
Series: EE598 Seminar Course
Abstract: Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are initially designed to provide a high performance computing for multimedia applications. Due to the efficiency of their execution model, nowadays GPUs are used to run scientific, medical and financial workloads in addition to the multimedia workloads. In this talk we will explore the opportunities in current GPUs that can be used to support a reliable and power efficient execution without affecting the overall performance of GPUs.
In the first part of the talk we will go through some workloads characterization experiments to explore the available opportunities for reliable and power efficient solutions. In the second part we will introduce two mechanisms based on the explored opportunities. The first mechanism is warped DMR that focuses on designing a reliable execution model in GPUs in order to match with the reliability requirements for the new set of application domains. The second mechanism is warped register file that targets designing a power efficient register file for GPUs in order to mitigate the wasted leakage and the dynamic power caused by the mismatch in applications requirements.
Biography: Mohammad Abdel-Majeed is a 3rd year PhD student in Electrical Engineering department at University of Southern California. He is working under the supervision of Professor Murali Annavaram and his research focuses on the power efficiency in the modern high throughput processors.
Hyeran Jeon is a PhD student in Electrical Engineering department of University of Southern California. She is also a member of SCIP lab led by Professor Murali Annavaram. Her research interest is in architectural support for reliable computing.
