Abstract

In this talk, Samuel will give a brief background on e-graphs and equality saturation, attempting to distill the reasons behind the significant interest in this approach. He will then present his own research, in collaboration with Intel, into high-performance circuit design exploring how equality saturation can help us to design efficient computational circuits.

About the Speaker

Samuel Coward

at UCL Computer Science

Samuel Coward originally completed a maths degree at Cambridge, but has since moved into digital circuit design. His PhD at Imperial College London, with Prof. George Constantinides, primarily explored how to leverage and extend equality saturation to automate arithmetic circuit design and verification.

He recently joined UCL Computer Science working with Alexandra Silva and is an incoming 1851 Royal Commission Research Fellow.
