Introduction

As intelligent models evolve toward larger scales and more complex tasks, innovative computing architecture has become the core driver to break through bottlenecks in training efficiency, inference latency, and energy consumption. This track focuses on the frontier intersection of intelligent model and computing architecture innovation, aiming to gather global academic achievements and industrial practices that explore novel architectural designs, heterogeneous integration strategies, and efficient optimization methods. We aim to promote the synergy of “model-algorithm-architecture” and advance the sustainable development of intelligent computing.
