About
Anthony Kung
I build and teach around AI accelerator hardware, SystemC/HLS, and computer architecture.
Degrees
Research focus
Transformer hardware paths
Exploring compiler-to-silicon flows that shorten time-to-hardware for transformer workloads while balancing latency, area, and energy.
SystemC / HLS tooling
Course and lab pipelines that take models from PyTorch to SystemC/HLS, emphasizing observability and verification along the way.
Sparse Tensor Networks
Investigating efficient representations, algorithms, and hardware for sparse tensor computations, with a focus on cross-layer optimization and practical frameworks for real-world workloads.
