2018
Prof. Gupta along with Professors Sudhakar Pamarti and Kang Wang win a $5.9M grant from DARPA for Spin-based stochastic dataflow computing. Some of the background work appeared in our group’s papers on NDR-assisted MRAM read/write ![[PDF]](https://nanocad.ee.ucla.edu/wp-content/plugins/papercite/img/iconfinder_pdf_272699.svg){kind=small}
, CMOS NDR and spin-based stochastic computing .
Congratulations to Irina for being awarded the Outstanding M.S. Thesis Award in the ECE department at UCLA.
Congratulations to Irina for best paper award at the SELSE workshop on Parity++: Lightweight Error Correction for Last Level Caches . The paper develops a software-informed unequal message protection ECC technique which can correct 80+% of single bit errors with just one additional bit overhead than simple parity. The paper would appear the DSN proceedings later this year.
Congratulations to Tianmu for being selected at a finalist for 2018 Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship for their very interesting proposal on Edge Node Deep Learning.
NanoCAD Group moves to its new lab location 53-135 EIV.
