Towards the fundamental limits of noise performance of III-V high electron mobility transistor microwave amplifiers—Mar. 23

Microwave amplifiers based on III-V high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) are a key component of scientific instrumentation. Lower noise devices are of intense interest for applications in radio astronomy and quantum computing. In this talk, Minnich will discuss our efforts to identify and mitigate noise sources in HEMTs at cryogenic temperatures and thereby realize transistor amplifiers operating near the quantum noise limit.

Thinking outside the die: Trillion transistor chips for the ML accelerator of the future—Mar. 16

ML models are growing at an unprecedented rate and traditional forms of scaling chip performance are insufficient to keep up. In this talk, Lie will examine how co-design can enable specialized ML architectures including wafer-scale chips, sparse computation, optimized memories, and interconnects. Lie will explore this rich design space using the Cerebras architecture as a case study, highlighting design principles that enable the ML models of the future.

Climate implications of computing & communications workshop—Mar. 3 & 4

The MIT Climate and Sustainability Consortium, MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab, and MIT Schwarzman College of Computing are hosting a workshop to explore initiatives that could lower the climate impacts of the computing and communications (e.g. telecommunications) sectors. This virtual two-day event will feature discussions and opportunities for collaboration with MIT faculty and industry leaders during multiple sessions.
