From Theory to Practice: Introducing Architectural Prisms, an Experiment in AI-First Academic Dialogue

Editor’s notes: This article is cross-referenced from the SIGARCH Blog. The problem described in the article also applies to the SIGOPS community. Certainly, whether to ask AI for help in the paper review systems should be a community decision and must be done in the right way. A little while ago, I published a post … Read more

Wafer-Scale AI Compute: A System Software Perspective

This article originally appeared in USENIX ;login: magazine, shepherded by Rik Farrow. As AI models grow larger and more complex, traditional computing architectures are hitting performance and efficiency limits. A new class of hardware, wafer-scale AI chips, pushes these boundaries by integrating hundreds of thousands of cores and massive on-chip memory onto a single wafer. … Read more

Barbarians at The Gate: How AI is Upending Systems Research

Editors’ note: For the first article of the The Next Horizon of System Intelligence series, we invite the ADRS team from Berkeley to share their recent work which has raised very active discussions in the community. AI is no longer just tuning systems as a “black box.” It’s now rewriting their core algorithms by treating … Read more

The Next Horizon of System Intelligence

Editor’s note: The authors are opening a blog series on the timely topic of system intelligence and the future of systems research with the intelligence as a new capability. They are actively looking for contributors to share ideas, viewpoints, and experiences. Why This Blog Series? Generative AI, as represented by Large Language Models (LLMs), has … Read more
