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 COURSE #10
Thu, Mar 28, 2013 @ 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Lizhong Chen, PhD Candidate, Electrical Engineering USC Viterbi School of Engineering
Talk Title: Energy-efficient On-chip Networks for Many-core Processors
Series: EE598 Seminar Course
Abstract: Energy-efficient processors are of paramount importance to designing computing systems that deliver superior performance-cost trade-offs. However, as the key communication subsystem of many-core processors, the on-chip network consumes a substantial percentage of the chipââ¬â¢s power and energy. In this talk, we analyze the energy consumption of on-chip networks and discuss the opportunities and challenges in reducing it, with an emphasis on minimizing static power by developing effective power-gating schemes. Two novel designs, namely node-router decoupling and proactive power-gating are proposed to provide architectural support for effective power-gating. These designs not only reduce static power, but also open up new opportunities for optimizing power-gating that is particularly needed for current on-chip networks.
Biography: Lizhong Chen is a PhD candidate working with Prof. Timothy Pinkston in the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles. His research focuses on energy-efficient and high-performance interconnection networks for chip multiprocessors and super-computers. His research has been published at top venues in computer architecture, including MICRO, HPCA and IPDPS. He received his BS degree in Electrical Engineering from Zhejiang University in 2009 and MS degree in Electrical Engineering from USC in 2011.
