One of the advantages of today’s personal computers is that they’re able to operate a wide range of different software programs. The flipside of this flexibility, however, is that any given software program is unlikely to make use of all the available hardware. Dr David Boland’s research focuses on this issue, with the aim of achieving faster and more energy-efficient computing.
“I study the computer algorithms used to solve problems across many domains, including scientific computing, machine learning and optical communications.
“I then consider how to design fully customised hardware solutions to these problems. In doing this I focus on how to perform as little computation as necessary, while still obtaining results as accurate as those produced by the original algorithm used in the software. This helps to maximise energy efficiency. I also look at how to do as much parallel computation as possible, in order to maximise performance.
“The technology to support this exists: we can already create application-specific integrated circuits, and we can use field-programmable gate arrays on which custom hardware designs can be programmed after manufacturing. However, designing customised hardware architectures is challenging, so is currently restricted to experts. I’m interested in making this performance more widely accessible.
“My research to date has largely focused on accelerating common computational kernels and basic arithmetic structures. I’m currently working on creating custom hardware accelerators for machine learning within the context of analysing wireless communication systems.
“The ability to perform fast analysis and prediction using this information could be critical for effective military operations, for example. High-performance and energy-efficient computation is also critical for the development and widespread use of novel technologies such as artificial intelligence, which could transform society. The challenge is to develop design techniques that are of benefit both now and in the future.
“I’ve been working in this field since 2007, and I joined the University of Sydney in 2017. The University has provided me with more opportunities to engage with industry and to work alongside like-minded colleagues to maximise the impact of my research.”
