Workshops
NOPE
NOPE is a workshop that discusses open, honest port-mortems of research projects which ran into unexpected limitations and resulted in lessons learned. In addition, it will offer a venue to discuss contributions that have been underappreciated over time. The goals of NOPE are to reflect on negative outcomes and offer a venue to uncover opportunities to move forward by reflecting on mistakes made during the research process.

WAX
WAX (Workshop on Approximate Computing Across the Stack) is a workshop on approximate computing, a research direction that asks how computer systems can be made better by relaxing the requirement that they be exactly correct. Approximate systems raise questions from across the system stack, from circuits to applications. WAX is a venue for discussion, debate, and brainstorming on all of these topics.

Tutorials
FireSim and Chipyard
Attendees will be able to customize an industry and silicon-proven RISC-V microprocessor design, run their own high-performance FPGA-accelerated simulations of their design in the cloud, and learn how to push their design to silicon, guided by the FireSim and Chipyard developers.

Understanding System Implications of Neural Recommendation
Despite the importance of DNN-based personalized recommendation models and their unique compute demands, relatively little research attention has been devoted to recommendation systems. To address this gap in the research community, this tutorial serves as a venue to discuss, share, and foster research for personalized recommendation systems.

Tutorial Date: March 16th, 2020
QFlex
In this tutorial, we will present QFlex, a toolchain for full-system instrumentation. The QFlex toolchain enhances QEMU with an API to allow the instrumentation of ARM-based systems. We build upon the QFlex API to add sampling-based full-system cycle-accurate simulation and FPGA-accelerated instrumentation. QFlex targets a wide range of users, from hardware designers to software developers.

Practical Aspects of Building a Software Stack for Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum DevicesAQTSTACK2020
In this tutorial we describe the hardware and software control stack for a “medium” size Quantum Processor (32-64 superconducting qubits), deployed for community access at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory under the US DOE ASCR Quantum Testbed Program. We introduce the state-of-the-art in “quantum program” representation and manipulation and discuss open research directions with emphasis on a multi-disciplinary/community approach that combines Computer Science systems research with Quantum Information Science.

ESP
ESP is an open-source research platform for heterogeneous system-on-chip design that combines a flexible tile-based architecture and a modular system-level design methodology. In this tutorial, we demonstrate the main features of the open-source ESP infrastructure.

BenchCouncil Benchmarks
International Open Benchmark Council (BenchCouncil) is a non-profit research institute which aims to promote the standardization, benchmarking, evaluation, incubation, and promotion of open-source chip, AI, and Big Data techniques. This tutorial is aimed at presenting AIBench—an artificial intelligence (in short, AI) benchmark suite, and BigDataBench—a big data benchmark suite

Side and Covert Channels: Attacks and Defenses
Attendees will learn from basic to advanced topics in microarchitectural side/covert channel attacks. The tutorial will also feature a keynote + discussion from Intel as well as a hands-on session (where attendees will be able to build their own covert channels on their own/our machines) and capture the flag competition (with prizes!).

A Deep Dive into Deep Learning Benchmarking and Analysis
The current landscape of Machine Learning and Deep Learning is rife with non-uniform models, frameworks, and system stacks. It lacks standard tools and methodologies to evaluate and profile models or systems. The goal of the tutorial is to bring experts from the industry and academia together to foster systematic development, reproducible evaluation, and performance analysis of deep learning artifacts.
