[] Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimizing (QUBO) is a combinatorial optimization problem that has become essential to machine learning, economics, and healthcare applications. Therefore, QUBO solvers have seen a significant boost in their demand. These problems are computationally expensive, complex to parallelize, and require MIMD approaches. Ising machines such as D-wave have proposed a quantum solution for solving these NP-hard optimization problems. Several data-dominant application spaces, namely protein folding problems in Computational Biology, genome sequencing for COVID-19 and other pandemic diseases, and traffic patterns in social media, have benefitted from this problem mapping and one-shot solution. Although they can solve QUBO problems, the exceptionally high operating cost due to the cryo-cooling for quantum Ising machines might not justify the accuracy they achieve. In this talk, we will explore a magnetic QUBO-solver, which could solve the problems more quickly and cost-effectively at room temperature. Because the Hamiltonian of a system of coupled nanomagnets is quadratic, a wide class of quadratic energy minimization can be solved much more quickly by the relaxation of a grid of nanomagnets than by a conventional Boolean processor. Our research shows that magnet-based solutions are independent of problem size as the ground state of the magnets yield the optimization solution in parallel. This co-processor consists of a programmable grid of magnetic cells that can generate any magnetic layout in a 2D plane and will be integrated with peripheral control similar to STT-MRAM memory. This talk will focus on state-variable design, problem mapping and reconfigurability. Co-sponsored by: Gordon Burkhead Speaker(s): Sanjukta Bhanja, Agenda: 6:00 PM - Start of online/virtual event.

The semiconductor industry has witnessed steady growth over the last few years thanks to emerging applications, which are driving the growth of major semiconductor components. Reliable operation of these components is very important in any given application and to ensure reliability components must receive extensive testing and burn-in. Despite this, integrated circuit (IC) failures are still inevitable. One of the common failure mechanisms that affects all IC components irrespective of the type of application is electrical overstress (EOS). In this webinar, we will discuss the possible root cause of EOS failures, why it ranks high in the failure pareto, and ways to mitigate EOS failure risks.

The widely felt vibrations from the recent M 4.8 earthquake in New Jersey has many people wondering: where do earthquakes occur and what do we need to understand about future earthquakes and their potential impacts? In this talk, we aim to address these questions. We will describe where past earthquakes have occurred in the United States and their association with faults and other tectonic features. You will learn about current approaches to earthquake forecasting and seismic hazard analysis, how seismic shaking varies across the country, and ways that earthquakes cause damage through ground shaking, ground failure, aftershocks, and even tsunamis. We will review the recent M 4.8 - 2024 Tewksbury, New Jersey Earthquake and what we can learn from this east coast seismic event. Finally, we will share select examples from a post-earthquake reconnaissance trip to Turkey following the 2023 Turkey-Syria earthquakes.Sponsored by the IEEE MOVE Weather TeamCo-sponsored by: IEEE-USA MOVE ProgramSpeaker(s): Dr. John Stamatakos , Dr. Kristin UlmerVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/418608
