DEPEND group at the forefront of enabling AI in Systems

Work performed in the DEPEND group is fundamentally reinventing the design of computer systems, from hardware to applications.  Systems are designed to use artificial intelligence and machine-learning to control and optimize large-scale heterogeneous computer systems to meet the performance and resiliency requirements of those emergent applications.

Two recent publications on scheduling application kernels to achieve high performance, and detecting failures and performance anomalies in heterogenous systems are accepted at ICML 2020 and Supercomputing 2020.
