Professors Myoungsoo Jung, John Kim, Song Min Kim, Minsoo Rhu, have recently been awarded 40 billion KRW in national R&D funding by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Institute of Information & Communications Technology Planning & Evaluation (IITP), as part of the \u2018K-Cloud Project\u2019 initiative.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
The K-Cloud Project aims to strengthen the domestic cloud industry\u2019s competitiveness by securing world-class low-power, high-performance data center hardware and software core technologies. Under the leadership of Professor Jung, our research team has been selected for the K-Cloud Project that focuses on developing computational memory hardware based on AI infrastructure, AI integration, Compute Express Link (CXL), and chiplet technologies. The research team will receive over 40 billion KRW in research funding over the next four years.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
The K-Cloud Project is a national initiative designed to enhance the country\u2019s competitiveness in cloud computing industry, developing hardware and software technologies which are necessary for building datacenters with ultra-high speed and low-power. As part of this K-Cloud Project, the research team, which is led by Prof. Myoungsoo Jung, have been selected to lead programs focused on AI infrastructure, AI integration, Compute Express Link (CXL), and silicon hardware of computational memory based on chiplet technologies, securing 40B KRW in research funding over the next four years.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Specifically, the team will develop a low-power, high-performance SoC for computational memory, which minimizes data movement by performing AI-related computations close to where data is stored. In addition, the team will develop technologies to construct integrated AI systems by interconnecting these devices using CXL, a high-speed interconnect protocol. Finally, the team will apply optimization software based on AI algorithm to complete an AI infrastructure platform and validate its performance using real-world workloads such as large language models (LLMs), retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and recommendation systems.<\/span><\/div>\n

This project, including the development of these core technologies, is led by Panmnesia\u2014a faculty startup founded by Professor Myoungsoo Jung\u2014and involves participation from other KAIST research groups from our department. This includes research teams of Professors John Kim, Minsoo Rhu, and Song Min Kim. In addition, a university-industry consortium comprising Seoul National University, Yonsei University, Korea University, Hanyang University, Chung-Ang University, POSTECH, and UNIST, the Korea Electronics Technology Institute (KETI), and four industry partners is collaborating on the project. External institutions, such as Chung-Ang University Hospital, will also collaborate for real-world validation and demonstration.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Through this effort, we expect that the collaboration between faculty startups and research laboratories originating from our department will produce impactful research outcomes that contribute to both academia and industry.<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
