Scalable XR system co-design for the post-Moore era
Elahe Soltanaghai, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
Abstract
As we navigate the post-Moore era, characterized by the diminishing returns of traditional semiconductor scaling, the field of Extended Reality (XR) demands innovative approaches to ensure continued advancements. This talk delves into the intricate interplay between Scalable XR Systems and co-design methodologies, focusing on the collaborative optimization of hardware and software to meet the evolving demands of immersive computing. The talk will delve into the complexities of co-design strategies that synergize hardware architecture, software algorithms, and system-level optimizations and highlight the cutting-edge research at UIUC, unlocking new frontiers in performance, efficiency, and user experience.
