Congratulations to Assistant Professor Wang Bo, PhD students Li Dongrui and Tomomasa Yamasaki. Their group’s paper titled “LAXOR: A Bit-Accurate BNN Accelerator with Latch-XOR Logic for Local Computing” has won the Best Paper Award at the 2023 International Symposium on Low Power Electronics and Design (ISLPED 2023), Vienna, Austria, August 2023.

Dongrui Li*, Tomomasa Yamasaki*, Aarthy Mani, Anh Tuan Do, Niangjun Chen, and Bo Wang, “LAXOR: A Bit-Accurate BNN Accelerator with Latch-XOR Logic for Local Computing”, ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Low Power Electronics and Design (ISLPED), Vienna, Austria, August 2023 (*co-first authors).

The paper is a joint work with A*STAR and Assistant Professor Chen Niangjun from the ISTD Pillar. Prof Wang Bo is the PI of the project which is about developing energy-efficient accelerator architectures for Deep Neural Networks by breaking through von Neumann architecture with compute-in-logic paradigm.

ISLPED (ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Low Power Electronics and Design) is a prestigious conference for innovative research in all aspects of low power electronics and design, and only top 2% of the submitted regular papers were selected for the award this year. The award the team received is for the Artificial Intelligence Track and only 1 paper received this award in the track.
