Posted on by hfair2@illinois.edu

Archit Patke, Ph.D., a recent graduate from Prof. Iyer’s DEPEND Group, was named a 2025 Machine Learning Commons Rising Star for his groundbreaking work improving the performance and reliability of GPUs that power today’s AI systems. His research boosts efficiency by teaching machines to work smarter — not harder — while uncovering the causes of GPU failures in advanced hardware like NVIDIA’s A100 and H100. Already recognized by major tech companies and adopted in open-source platforms, Patke’s achievements highlight Illinois’ leadership in next-generation AI innovation.

Prof Ravi Iyer receives the DSN Test of Time Paper Award in 2024. The Test-of-Time Award is given by the IEEE Computer Society TC on Dependable Computing.  It recognizes g papers published 10 years ago at DSN, in the DSN proceedings (research track, practical experience report or tool papers), that have had a sustained and important impact on the theory and/or practice of dependable systems. Prof Iyer’s paper “Lessons learned from the analysis of system failures at petascale: The case of Blue Waters,” was published in 2014.    C. Di Martino, Z. Kalbarczyk, R. K. Iyer, F. Baccanico, J. Fullop, W. Kramer, ” Lessons Learned from the Analysis of System Failures at Petascale: The Case of Blue Waters” IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks (DSN), Atlanta, USA 2014, doi: 10.1109/DSN.2014.62.
