Addressing Design Challenges in the Era of SysMoore: From Architecture to Silicon Lifecycle Management

Thursday, October 14, 2021

8:00 a.m. - 8:30 a.m.  PDT

Amount of compute power required in today’s SoCs, especially in AI applications, is outpacing Moore’s Law by a wide margin. Orders of magnitude compute are needed to keep pace with this new era of scaling and system complexity, otherwise known as the SysMoore era. In this presentation we examine the challenges driving the next wave of innovative design solutions. Starting with architecture exploration to silicon-lifecycle management, these solutions  will help engineers create designs that keep pace with the compute power and silicon health needs for today and tomorrow.​
