Laboratory of High-Performance Intelligent Computing

High-performance computing is a focal point of international scientific competition and plays a critical role in national scientific innovation, social development, and industrial upgrading. Challenges in high-performance computing include memory wall issues, reliability and availability, scalable parallel algorithm design and parallel programming, and low-power computing. Brain-inspired computing, a highly interdisciplinary field combining brain science, information technology, and mathematics, is a promising new direction to address issues of power consumption, memory access, reliability, and scalability, drawing significant attention from the academic and industrial communities. The group focuses on the research of brain-inspired computing application ecosystem technologies, targeting international frontiers and national strategic needs. Research directions include hardware-algorithm co-design for brain-inspired computing, brain-inspired computing models and programming models, foundational operator libraries for brain-inspired chips, integration of numerical and intelligent computing methods, mixed-precision computing techniques, low-power computing, and application demonstrations.
