Research topic
This research aims to study, design, and develop AI-based techniques to optimize architecture-aware software, with a strong focus on embedded computing platforms. Practical use cases reveal that efficient execution of modern applications requires complex and highly architecture-specific optimizations. An AI assistant can relieve programmers from manually optimizing code for different architectures while providing stronger deployment optimality guarantees. Modern deployment pipelines typically consist of multiple abstraction layers that progressively lower application code – from high-level representations to low-level, architecture-specific instructions. Integrating artificial intelligence into this process makes it possible to adapt and intelligently map software components to hardware architectures dynamically. This approach can substantially improve performance, energy efficiency, and resource utilization.
Objectives
Design AI/ML-based predictive models capable of determining optimal deployment configurations by analyzing both the target hardware architecture and application-level characteristics.
Develop automation tools that tailor deployment decisions to architecture-specific parameters (e.g., cache hierarchy, memory bandwidth, thermal constraints, and parallelism models).
Evaluate the proposed framework through real-world deployment scenarios using rigorous benchmarks that assess performance, scalability, and energy efficiency.
