The fields of deep neural networks (DNNs), Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), and high-performance computing are rapidly advancing, with a focus on optimizing performance, energy efficiency, and area utilization. A common theme among these areas is the exploration of innovative approaches to improve arithmetic density, reduce computations, and enhance overall efficiency. Notably, researchers are leveraging bit-level sparsity, improving technology mapping, and developing novel computing approaches such as bit-serial and bit-column-serial computations. New FPGA architecture designs are also being proposed to enable concurrent use of adders and look-up tables, leading to area reductions and improved performance. The BitParticle paper proposes a MAC unit that leverages dual-factor sparsity through particlization, achieving a 29.2% improvement in area efficiency. The BitWave paper introduces a novel computing approach called bit-column-serial and a compatible architecture design named BitWave, achieving up to 13.25x higher speedup and 7.71x efficiency compared to state-of-the-art sparsity-aware accelerators. In the context of high-performance computing, developments are centered around improving the efficiency and accuracy of numerical simulations, particularly in large-scale systems and complex applications. Specialized architectures and compilation strategies are being used to accelerate computationally intensive tasks. The CCSS paper achieves significant speedup over state-of-the-art multi-core simulators through specialized architecture and compilation strategies. The PI-detector paper efficiently computes floating-point errors by injecting small perturbations into the operands of individual atomic operations. In medical imaging and prognosis, innovative applications of deep learning and machine learning techniques are driving significant developments. A key direction of research is the improvement of multimodal prognosis models, which integrate multiple types of data to predict patient outcomes. The Single-Domain Generalization for Multimodal Cross-Cancer Prognosis via Dirac Rebalancer and Distribution Entanglement paper proposes a new task and modules to improve generalization across cancer types. The SGPMIL paper introduces a probabilistic attention-based framework for multiple instance learning. The field of medical image segmentation is witnessing significant advancements, with a focus on improving the accuracy, efficiency, and robustness of segmentation models. The integration of neural operators and transformers is being used to capture long-range spatial correlations and improve resolution robustness. The HNOSeg-XS paper proposes a resolution-robust architecture for 3D image segmentation. The F3-Net paper presents a foundation model designed for full abnormality segmentation of medical images with flexible input modality requirements. Overall, these advancements have the potential to significantly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of DNNs, FPGAs, and high-performance computing applications, with significant impacts on fields such as medical imaging and prognosis.
