We are proud to share that Takuto Ando, a master’s student (M1) at the Computing Architecture Lab, has received the IEEE CEDA All Japan Joint Chapter SASIMI Young Researcher Award at the 26th SASIMI 2025 international workshop, held in Nara, Japan, on October 9–10, 2025.
The Workshop on Synthesis and System Integration of Mixed Information technologies (SASIMI) is an international forum for industry–academia exchange in system design, semiconductor design automation (EDA), and design methodologies. The Young Researcher Award honors outstanding poster presentations by researchers under 35.
Mr. Ando’s presentation, titled “A Detailed Analysis of LLM Execution on IMAX3 and Initial Evaluation of IMAX4 Prototype for Server Environment,” was highly acclaimed. His research proposes the IMAX4 prototype, an advanced accelerator based on the power-efficient CGLA architecture, achieving significant reductions in host-side processing load for large language model (LLM) tasks such as LLaMA3 8B.
This recognition underscores the strength of LENZO’s ongoing collaboration with academic partners in advancing next-generation computing architectures.
