Professor Jin-Ho Lee’s lab was awarded the Best Paper Award from 2022 PACT (International Conference on Parallel Architectures and Compilation Techniques), a leading academic conference on computer architectures, through the joint research of Yonsei University and Samsung Electronics.

The paper deals with research on solving the memory bandwidth problem, which was the bottleneck of graph neural network accelerators, through an active tile partitioning method, thereby greatly enhancing the performance.

The Best Paper Award is only awarded to one of the 50 most outstanding papers of the year. The paper was co-authored by Ph.D. students Min-Gi Yoo, Jae-Yong Song, Hye-Yoon Lee, and Joung-Hoo Lee, professor Young Sok Kim (Yonsei University), and Ph.D. Nam-Hyung Kim (Samsung Electronics).
