Talk Title: Real-Time RF Signal Processing in Extreme Environments with Memristors
Series: CA DREAMS - Technical Seminar Series
Abstract: The von Neumann bottleneck significantly increases energy consumption and processing delays in modern computing systems, especially for data-intensive tasks such as real-time RF signal processing. Memristor-based in-memory computing addresses this challenge by performing computations directly within analog memory arrays. In this seminar, I will present a memristor-based analog system-on-chip (SoC) designed for real-time RF signal processing. This innovative SoC integrates real-time Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) computation and neural network processing within a unified analog memristor framework. Furthermore, due to the inherent robustness of memristors in extreme environments, including radiation exposure and high-temperature conditions, this technology is highly suitable for harsh environment applications. Our analog SoC demonstrates substantial improvements in energy efficiency and throughput compared to traditional digital computing systems, making it a promising solution for next-generation RF signal processing applications under extreme conditions.

Talk Title: Scale-out Chiplet Based Systems: Design, Architecture and Pathfinding
Series: CA DREAMS - Technical Seminar Series
Abstract: As conventional technology scaling becomes harder, 2.5D integration provides a viable pathway to building larger systems at lower cost. Waferscale chiplet-based systems, as much as 100X larger than largest modern SoCs pose new opportunities and challenges in their architecture and design. We describe a waferscale GPU concept and discuss our experience designing a 2000 chiplet waferscale processor system, pointing out key challenges and solutions. Next, we describe our ongoing work on developing a cross-stack pathfinding framework for large distributed 2.5D/3D systems, identifying areas where technology development would help design metrics substantially, especially for the important class of distributed machine learning training applications.
Biography: Puneet Gupta received the B.Tech. degree in electrical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, New Delhi, India, in 2000, and the Ph.D. degree from the University of California at San Diego, San Diego, CA, USA, in 2007. He is currently a Faculty Member with the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, University of California at Los Angeles. He Co-Founded Blaze DFM Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, USA, in 2004 and served as its Product Architect until 2007. He has authored over 200 papers, 18 U.S. patents, a book and two book chapters in the areas of system-technology co-optimization as well as variability/reliability aware architectures. Dr. Gupta is an IEEE Fellow and was a recipient of the NSF CAREER Award, the ACM/SIGDA Outstanding New Faculty Award, SRC Inventor Recognition Award, and the IBM Faculty Award. He currently leads the system benchmarking thrust within SRC JUMP 2.0 CHIME packaging center.

Talk Title: Intelligentsia of Nano-Architected Hierarchical Materials
Series: CA DREAMS - Technical Seminar Series
Abstract: Creation of reconfigurable and multi-functional materials can be achieved by incorporating architecture into material design. In our research, we design and fabricate three-dimensional (3D) nano-architected materials that can exhibit superior and often tunable mechanical, thermal, photonic, electrochemical, and biochemical pro¬¬¬per¬¬ties at ex¬tre¬me¬ly low mass densities, which renders them useful and enabling in tech¬no¬lo¬gi¬cal applications. Dominant properties of such meta-materials are driven by their multi-scale hierarchy: from characteristic material microstructure (atoms) to individual constituents (nanometers) to structural components (microns) to overall architectures (millimeters and above). Our research is focused on the fabrication, synthesis, and characterization of hierarchical materials using additive manufacturing (AM) techniques, as well as on investigating their mechanical, electrochemical, and chemo-mechanical properties as a function of architecture, constituent materials, and microstructural detail. AM represents a set of processes that fabricate complex 3D structures using a layer-by-layer approach, with some advanced methods attaining nanometer resolution and the creation of unique, multifunctional materials and shapes derived from a photoinitiation-based polymerization of custom-synthesized resins and thermal post-processing. A type of AM, vat polymerization, has allowed for using hydrogels as precursors to produce 3D nano- and micro-architected metals and metal oxides, and exploiting their nano-induced material and structural properties. We describe additive manufacturing via vat polymerization and function-containing chemical synthesis to create 3D nano- and micro-architected metals, ceramics, multifunctional metal oxides, and metal-containing polymer complexes with dynamic bonds, as well as demonstrate their potential in some biomedical, protective, and sensing applications. I will describe how the choice of architecture and material can elicit new microstructural orders and induce stimulus-responsive, reconfigurable, and multifunctional response.
