SUMMARY:CSE Colloquium: Enabling scalable GPU computing via efficient virtual memory systems
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Hyeran Jeon\, UC Merced \nTitle: Enabling scalable GPU computing via efficient virtual memory systems \nAbstract: GPUs have become one of the most important accelerators of various emerging workloads. While the massive parallelism makes the GPUs one of the most favorable compute engines\, the limited on-device memory capacity hinders their wider adoption. Virtual memory systems have been helpful in transparently expanding memory space to host CPU memory and peer GPU memories\, as GPUs can access data through simple pointer sharing regardless of the physical location of that data. However\, as GPU architecture evolves and the volume of data increases significantly\, the virtual memory systems themselves become one of the critical performance bottlenecks. This talk will explore the perils and opportunities of virtual memory systems under emerging GPU architectures.\nThe first part of the talk will show that the limited IOMMU bandwidth is one of the primary performance limiters in multi-chip-module GPUs (MCM-GPUs) due to the increasing concurrency of multiple GPU chiplets. To fundamentally reduce the translation demands\, the talk will introduce a new way of page mapping that effectively replaces page-table-based virtual memory translations with simple calculation-based translations. The second part of the talk will focus on GPUs that have internal GMMUs. The talk will first show that naive GMMU translation bandwidth increase will incur significant area overhead. Then\, we show that one of the existing but highly underutilized accelerators integrated in the GPU die\, the ray tracing cores\, can be repurposed for virtual memory translation. \nBio: Hyeran Jeon is an associate professor at the University of California\, Merced. Hyeran's main research interests lie in high-performance\, energy-efficient\, and robust computer architecture and systems. Her research lab (MoCA Lab) has been sponsored by the government and industry\, including National Science Foundation\, California Energy Commission\, Xilinx\, NVIDIA\, and Ampere Computing. She earned her Ph.D. at the University of Southern California. She has industry experience as an intern at IBM T.J. Watson Research Center and AMD Research\, and as a systems software engineer at Samsung Electronics. She is a recipient of the NSF CAREER award and the USC Viterbi dean’s doctoral fellowship.  \nHosted by: Professor Mohsen Lesani \nLocation: Engineering 2\, E2-180\n*Refreshments such as coffee and pastries will be provided.

SUMMARY:How to Validate AI Product Ideas and Build a Defensible MVP
DESCRIPTION:93% of US companies plan to increase their AI investments; but 80% of AI projects fail. Countless “cool” demos crash and burn; not because the technology failed\, but because they solved the wrong problem. In this lesson\, we lay out a proven playbook with 5 tactical steps\, each a mindset shift or critical decision point\, to validate AI product ideas and build towards defensible MVP. In this invited talk\, you will learn: \nThe "AI Product Opportunity Canvas" \nA proprietary framework to assess AI product ideas\, inspired by proven processes from Google and successful AI labs \n5-Step Playbook to Land an AI-Native MVP \nHow to evaluate user problems\, craft a compelling AI-native value proposition\, design for data and defensibility \nReal AI-Native Product Success Cases \nHow AI product leaders and founders are finding the market niche in industries such as healthcare\, legal and finance \nHow to Build Fast Feedback Loops with User and Human Evals \nHow to set up tight user feedback loops and leverage Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) as your secret validation weapon \nInvited Speaker: Roger Jin \nex-Product Lead @Google DeepMind\, 2x Founder\, AI Strategy Coach \nRoger is an ICF-certified coach and a seasoned product leader who has operated at the frontier of AI development and in the trenches of building venture-backed companies. \nAs Head of Product at Google DeepMind\, Roger was a founding member of the product team that launched Gemini\, Google's flagship generative AI product. Before that\, Roger led product teams at Amazon Alexa\, pushing the boundaries of customer experience for millions of users.  \nRoger has also co-founded two AI startups\, raising over $20M in venture capital and scaling them to a combined $80M+ in annual revenue. He is a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University.

SUMMARY:Dismantling the Deportation Machine...
DESCRIPTION:Dismantling the Deportation Machine: A Conversation on Migration\, Expulsion\, and Xenophobia \nJoin Carlos Martinez as he moderates a powerful discussion with Megan Carney\, Heide Castañeda\, and Gilberto Rosas on the urgent U.S. and global trends shaping the politics of migration\, deportation\, and xenophobia.  \nAs authoritarianism and xenophobia intensify globally\, this distinguished panel will offer critical insights into the shifting terrain of border enforcement\, deportation policies\, and immigrant solidarity. Bringing together diverse expertise\, the speakers will help us make sense of how these dynamics are unfolding both at home and across the world. In conversation\, they will not only examine the harms of exclusionary policies and hateful rhetoric but also highlight strategies and practices of resistance\, care\, and collective organizing.  \nThese scholars are coming together to support the development of Carlos Martinez’s in-progress manuscript\, Captive States: Migration and Expulsion on the Carceral Frontier. This event and subsequent workshop are sponsored by the Institute for Social Transformation’s Emerging Scholar Manuscript Workshops. \n\nDr. Megan Carney\, Associate Professor of Anthropology at University of Arizona\, Invited Scholar\nDr. Heide Castañeda\, Professor of Anthropology at the University of South Florida\, Invited Scholar\nDr. Gilberto Rosas\, Chair & Professor\, Latina/Latino Studies\, Professor of Anthropology\, Professor of Unit for Criticism and Interpretive Theory at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign\n\nDon’t miss this chance to engage with leading voices at the forefront of one of the most urgent conversations of our time. \n
