Our researchers are driving innovation across the entire hardware, software and network stack to make computer systems more reliable, efficient and secure.
From internet-scale networks, to next-generation chip designs, to deep learning frameworks and more, we build and refine the devices and applications that individuals, industries and, indeed, entire economies depend upon every day.
Research Groups & Labs
SyFI Lab
The SyFI Lab (Systems for Future Intelligence) builds efficient and resilient infrastructure for the future of AI. As applications grow more complex, we bridge the gap between next-gen models and heterogeneous hardware through cross-stack innovation.
Bespoke Silicon Group
The Bespoke Silicon Group aims to bring hardware design to its highest art and rapidly conceive of, design and implement entirely new kinds of hardware faster than has ever been done before.
