The Google Faculty Research Awards for 2018 were recently announced, and our group received an award in the Mobile category! The Google Faculty Research Awards Program supports world-class, permanent faculty pursuing cutting-edge research in areas of mutual interest. The award is highly competitive – only 15% of applicants receive funding after a rigorous Google-wide review process. Congratulations to Onur Mutlu and the SAFARI Research Group!
Onur Mutlu gave the Distinguished Lecture on “Processing Data Where It Makes Sense in Modern Computing Systems: Enabling In-Memory Computation” at George Washington University, Washington, DC, on Feb 15 2019.
The slides and video are now online: Slides (pptx)
Onur Mutlu gave the keynote talk on “Accelerating Genome Analysis: A Primer on an Ongoing Journey” at the AACBB workshop on Friday Feb 16, held jointly with HPCA 2019. His talk is now online: Slides (pptx).
