Specific-domain Hardware Design and Optimization Research Lab
From Algorithm to Silicon

SHaRe Lab develops specialized hardware for intelligent, high-performance, and trustworthy systems while also using artificial intelligence to improve how hardware itself is conceived, designed, verified, and optimized. Our research closes the loop between hardware for intelligence, including AI accelerators, neuromorphic and event-based systems, and intelligence for hardware, where AI supports design-space exploration, architecture generation, verification, optimization, and implementation. By connecting these directions, we co-design algorithms, architectures, circuits, and design methods from computational concept to physical realization.
