We conduct comprehensive research across computer architecture, VLSI design, FPGA, hardware/software co-design, and processing-in-memory technologies. Our holistic design approach integrates multiple levels of hardware design to optimize overall system performance, bridging the gap between academic research and practical industry deployment. This philosophy emerges from our unique combination of rigorous academic research and real-world hyperscale deployment experience. Led by Professor Joo-Young Kim, our laboratory brings a unique perspective combining academic excellence with industry experience. As an original member of Microsoft’s Project Catapult, Professor Kim pioneered cloud-scale FPGA deployment for machine learning, data storage, and networking acceleration. This background provides invaluable insights into the practical challenges of deploying specialized hardware at hyperscale, informing our research direction toward solutions that bridge academic innovation with commercial viability.
