Region 1

Semiconductor technology advancements have enabled the capability and cost of computing devices to improve exponentially over time, with transformative impact - witness the rise of cloud computing and the Internet of Things, which together with advances in machine learning have ushered in the era of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Today’s leading-edge microprocessor chips comprise 80 billion transistors. The complexity of these semiconductor devices requires sophisticated design automation tools and manufacturing facilities, which are increasingly expensive and capital intensive: a leading-edge chip fabrication plant, or “fab,” costs roughly $10 billion. As a result, close collaboration between electronic design automation (EDA) companies, fabless chip design companies, chip manufacturers, wafer fabrication equipment (WFE) companies, materials suppliers, and outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) companies is necessary to sustain the exponential pace of technology advancement. This seminar will begin by providing a high-level overview to explain why chips are considered “the new oil,” with a market projected to grow to $1T by the end of this decade. Then it will discuss challenges ahead for the industry and the need for new innovations and talent. As an example, integration of nano-electro-mechanical switches with conventional CMOS transistors to enable dramatic improvements in computational speed and energy efficiency will be described. The importance of a culture of inclusion for spurring innovation with maximum positive impact will also be discussed.

AI for Wireless: Application Areas Artificial Intelligence (AI) became popular for identifying dog and cats in images and now it is in every part of our lives. It is even showing up in wireless systems. It first started with identifying modulation types in an academic paper. Now 3GPP is considering physical layer algorithms to boost system performance. Researchers are looking into designing communication links using AI without explicit modulation and error correction algorithms. In this talk, we are going to go over application areas of AI in the wireless communications systems focusing on physical layer algorithm. One of the hardest parts for communications systems engineers who have been using MATLAB is to get into a new field using a new tool. So, we will use MATLAB as our main platform but also talk about interoperability with Python-based tools. Event Date changed to April 3, 2024 Further Date Change due to Snow Storm on April 3rd 2024 April 10, 2024 Room also changed to 128 B from 104-113.
