Title: Interval Type Inference: Improvements and Evaluations

Date: December 2, 2021
Time: 15:00
Place: MS Teams
Supervisor(s): Dietl, Werner

Abstract:
Interval analysis estimates the run-time intervals of numerical expressions in the source code by computing a lower bound and an
upper bound. Interval analysis for integral types is useful in providing facts of the target program to help developers find

Title: Degraded Reference Image Quality Assessment
Date: December 8, 2021
Time: 12:00
Place: MS Teams
Supervisor(s): Wang, Zhou

Abstract:
Images/videos are playing a more and more important role in the 21st century. The perceived quality of visual content often
degrades during the process of acquisition, storage, transmission, display and rendering. Since subjective evaluation of such a

Title: Implementing FPGA-optimized Systolic Arrays using 2D Knapsack and Evolutionary Algorithms

Date: November 26, 2021
Time: 18:00
Place: MS Teams
Supervisor(s): Kapre, Nachiket

Abstract:
Underutilization of FPGA resources is a significant challenge in the deployment of FPGAs as neural network accelerators.
We propose an FPGA-optimized systolic array architecture to improve the CNN inference throughput by orders of magnitude through

Meet graduate student researchers from science,
engineering, and mathematics and hear how they discovered quantum information
science found their way into research, and how the skills they gained in
their undergraduate studies are helping them develop the next generation of
quantum technology.
