The Intelligent Cloud and Edge (ICE) Group is at the forefront of advancing the artificial intelligence infrastructure and addressing the fundamental system issues of combining Cloud and Edge. Our mission is to provide efficient, user-friendly, cross-platform artificial intelligence training and deployment technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our group’s cutting-edge research areas include deep learning compilation frameworks, optimization of new hardware accelerators, system design for new types of workloads such as graph neural networks, Mixture-of-Experts (MoE), scientific computing, and software-hardware co-design optimization for new intelligent scenarios such as gaming and multimedia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We take pride in our contributions to the field, as evidenced by several research achievements published in top academic conferences such as OSDI, NSDI, ATC, etc. Our main achievements have been open-sourced as projects such as <\/a>NNFusion (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>, Rammer (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>, Roller (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>, SparTA (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>, Antares (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>, Tutel (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>, etc., and some of these technologies have been applied to product lines such as Xbox, Bing, and Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our research directions are focused on solving the most pressing challenges in building a cost-effective AI infrastructure by harvesting both the power of Cloud and Edge. We aim to advance the field by<\/p>\n\n\n\n
