M. Ceylan Morgul, Luca Frontini, Onur Tunali, Lorena Anghel, Valentina Ciriani, E. Ioana Vatajelu, Csaba Andras Moritz, Mircea R. Stan, Dan Alexandrescu and Mustafa Altun's paper titled, " Circuit Design Steps for Nano-Crossbar Arrays: Area-Delay-Power Optimization with Fault Tolerance" has been published in the IEEE Transactions on NanoTechnology,2020

Mircea R. Stan presents a talk on Processing in Memory (PIM) Power and Thermal Challenges and Opportunities at the RESMIQ event as a part of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society virtual seminar series. The talk addressed the Thermal/Power delivery challenges for PIM that are a result of the increased switching activities inherent to the moving of processing into the memory fabric, and exacerbated by the evolution towards 3D integration due to the slow-down of traditional Moore's law methods.

Congrats to our most eligible bachelor, Vaibhav Verma and his life partner, Varidhi on their wedding lock that is to take place on Nov 22,2020. The entire HPLP team wishes them the very best on their long, joyous, prosperous and fulfilling marital life.

M. Ceylan Morgul, a Ph.D. student of electrical engineering, advanced his research on computer memory as a Design Automation Conference 2020 young student fellow.Morgul presented his current research on active recovery for flash memory. Flash memory is a type of computer chip to store and transfer data between a personal computer and digital devices, found in USB flash drives, MP3 players and digital cameras. The reliability of flash memory decreases with usage over time.

Vaibhav Verma aims to develop a new processor for artificial intelligence applications at the edge of the “internet of things.” Verma is a Ph.D. student of electrical and computer engineering advised by Mircea R. Stan, Virginia Microelectronics Consortium Professor at the University of Virginia.“There are many novel AI accelerators proposed in the literature, but very few are used in real applications,” Verma said. Accelerators are very difficult to program and integrate in a computer stack.

Dave Garrett, our first HPLP PhD student has announced his project HEYKUBE on kickstarter today.This project is launched in partnership with Mehdi Hatamian and this is what Dave had to say about his cool new project.

M Ceylan Morgul and Vaibhav Verma won the best poster award at the DAC 2020 Young Fellows Program poster session. The committee selected the top 7.3% posters (21 out of 287 posters) for this award. Congrats Ceylan and Vaibhav!

Elisa Pantoja, Sergiu Mosanu, M Ceylan Morgul, Mohammad Nazmus Sakib and Vaibhav Verma were accpected towards the DAC Young Student Fellowship Program, 2020. Congrats to all!

Samiran Ganguly, Mohammed Nazmus Sakib, Hamed Vakili, Advait Madhavan, Matthew W. Daniels, Mark D. Stiles, Mircea R. Stan and Avik W. Ghosh's paper titled, " Magnetic Racetrack based Temporal Memory for Race Logic" has been accepted at the Device Research Conference, 2020.

Rahul Sreekumar was nominated as an outstanding Teaching Assistant by the Electrical and Computer Engineering department for the Spring semester'20. Congrats Rahul!
