Hey there πŸ‘‹ I'm

Gaurav Narang

Assistant Professor Β· University of South Florida

I develop machine learning (ML)-based methodologies for the design of advanced computing systems using emerging technologies to enable energy-efficient, high-performance, and reliable inference and training of emerging ML models. I lead HexaLabs at University of South Florida.

πŸ§ͺ The Lab

HexaLabs, at the University of South Florida, co-optimizes architecture, packaging, and algorithms to achieve exascale performance using heterogeneous compute and interconnect fabric at edge and datacenters.
