Computer System and Microarchitecture Design Laboratory
Welcome to COSMIC Lab
COSMIC Lab designs computer systems and microarchitecture across the hardware-software boundary to accelerate diverse emerging workloads. We focus on breaking the fundamental bottlenecks where algorithmic complexity meets physical architecture limits.
Our research spans a broad computing stack, from on-device accelerators to datacenter-scale memory systems. By pursuing vertical co-design across microarchitecture, runtimes, and system software, we build foundational infrastructure for artificial intelligence and beyond.
