AI is reshaping sectors like healthcare and security with complex models like LLMs. CEF is innovating AI architectures that change data flows, enhancing speed and efficiency through "data flow co-optimisation". Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionising our lives through applications in various domains such as social media, healthcare, automotive, robotics, security, and defence. In turn, this augments the AI model landscape complexity that is primarily driven by Large Language Models (LLMs) and their ever-evolving Transformer architecture, as well as simpler architectures such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). In both cases, any improvements in efficiency are quickly swallowed by a push to apply them to ever larger input datasets (larger input images, longer context windows, etc.).CEF is addressing this strategically important issue by designing novel AI Computing Architectures that radically change AI data flows or even their formats. Our software-hardware “data flow co-optimisation” actively takes the movement and interaction of data into account, resulting in AI hardware solutions that can significantly increase both speed and power efficiency.Related CEF ProjectsProject and link This article was published on 2025-06-23
