AI hardware-software co-design is an interdisciplinary approach that jointly optimizes AI algorithms and the hardware accelerators they run on. Instead of designing software and hardware separately, co-design ensures that device characteristics, circuit behaviour, and algorithm performance are tightly integrated. This leads to more efficient AI accelerators with higher performance and lower energy consumption. Explore related opportunities on our research jobs page.
