Innovations for Intelligent Edge

Abstract

Massive amounts of data will continue to be generated when everything becomes intelligent and connected, and where data-driven decision making becomes a necessity. Data sources are also becoming increasingly distributed and mobile. These trends have resulted in the rise of the Intelligent Edge, where compute is brought closer to the data source to address scale and latency requirements. The opportunity is to leverage the emerging confluence of compute, communication, and AI at the Edge to wisely partition complex workloads between Edge and Cloud, and to transform the way human and machines interact with the world. Consequently, industry and academia need to innovate faster than ever in key technologies to keep up with this rapidly evolving market. This keynote will cover the required technology innovations and challenges in both 1) monolithic/heterogeneous integration on the technology side, as well as (2) design and architecture on the circuits/systems side, spanning both compute and connectivity domains for a digitized world where everything can be made intelligent and connected.
