Present and Future Computing Systems

– 12–15 January 2024

Computing systems (e.g., mobile phones, desktops, laptops) are integrated parts of our lives nowadays. While we want our computing systems to be cheap, we also want them to be fast and energy efficient. Moreover, we also want our computing systems to be safe and secure so that we can use them without risking our privacy. Several new applications have emerged recently that are being extensively executed on different computing systems. Specifically, the emergence of machine learning applications (e.g., deep neural networks, and ChatGPT) has called for more efficient and more secure computing systems than ever before. In this workshop, several scholars with extensive research experience in the domain of computing systems talked about various aspects of present computing systems as well as how future computing systems will look like. Attendees got a unique opportunity to interact with professionals from leading industries in this domain. Moreover, a team from C-DAC provided a hands-on demonstration of DIR–V VEGA Processor, which is India’s indigenous microcontroller development board.
