09:101.1.3KEYNOTE ADDRESS: SYSTEM DESIGN CHALLENGES FOR NEXT GENERATION WIRELESS AND EMBEDDED SYSTEMS
Speaker:
David Fuller, National Instruments, US
Abstract
Application demands in our embedded world are growing dramatically. Consumer expectations and the industry's forward-looking technology roadmaps paint a picture of a connected world full of intelligent devices once thought to have fixed functionalities. Researchers exploring next generation wireless systems, Internet of Things (IOT), and even machine-to-machine (M2M) communications face many challenges in making this vision a reality. Where once a single, isolated design flow addressed the discrete application, heterogeneous multi-processing architectures must be considered and embraced along with the connections to other devices and systems, and real-world sensor data. As the systems grow in complexity, new design approaches must also be developed and employed to expedite the research, design, and development cycle. David Fuller will outline challenges system designers face in developing cyber-physical systems and explore a graphical system design approach that includes hardware abstraction and comprehends a heterogeneous multiprocessing environment while embracing different models of computation. Through this new approach, system designers can shorten design cycles and the time to prototype ultimately accelerating deployment.
1.1.4KEYNOTE ADDRESS: THE GROWING IMPORTANCE OF MICROELECTRONICS FROM A FOUNDRY PERSPECTIVE
Speaker:
Gerd Teepe, GLOBALFOUNDRIES, DE
Abstract
Microelectronics is the dominant industrial technology of today. Its rate of innovation, spelled out by Moore's Law, is exceptional by any commercial metric, especially, as it has been on this trajectory for almost 40 years. It is not surprising, that other industrial sectors are taking advantage of the innovation engine of the semiconductors for its own product innovation: Cars are safer and more economic, medical diagnostics are performing to a significantly higher level, and energy efficiency from the generation to the consumer is a lot more efficient. "The Internet" has become the basis for our communication, organization and planning in our economies with significant impact to our society. However, the Semiconductor industry is under a powerful transformation marked by the following trends: - Design Complexity is facing new challenges, as technological complexity is transferred to the design space at an accelerated pace - The SOC is dominating the design space - Intelligent Things are emerging with unprecedented cognitive and motion capabilities - The supply chain transformation is in full motion, with the foundry model at the forefront With these powerful trends in motion, we will have to rethink our approach towards semiconductors as part of the industrial system. It will not be sufficient any more to "enhance" traditional products like Cars, TVs, machines or phones with semiconductor content to make them perform at a higher level to increase its value to consumers. We need to rethink the connected world around us to truly assess the next generation of intelligent applications, which we are about to enter.
