Welcome to THUNDER Research Group

About Us
The THUNDER Research Group is a research group at Seoul National University. It belongs to both the Department of Computer Science and Engineering in the College of Engineering and the Department of Data Science in the Graduate School of Data Science.

Our Goal
Our goal is to overcome the programming wall and to accelerate large-scale applications by means of Deep Learning models and compiler, runtime, architecture, and operating system techniques at various levels taking pragmatic approaches.  It also includes a focus on Natural Language Processing from the perspective of Deep Learning. We emphasize pragmatic approaches to accelerate large-scale AI models’ training and inference and to reduce their size.

Research Topics
• Parallelization and Optimization of Deep Learning Frameworks
• Parallelization and Optimization of Large Language Models
• Programming Systems of Heterogeneous Machines (GPUs and FPGAs)
• Programming and Simulation Environments for Quantum Computing
