Session 2 overview: Processors: Digital architectures and systems subcommittee

Abstract

Continued growth in cloud-to-edge applications is driving innovations in digital processors. The first two papers of this session cover next-generation server-class processors. This is followed by an energy-efficient 14nm graphics processor. An SoC configurable with 1–4 chips on an MCM to service multiple markets is described next. The last three papers demonstrate the first implementation of the datagram transport layer security (DTLS) protocol in hardware, an MSP430-compatible microcontroller with dual-mode enabling minimum-power and minimum-energy, and a net-zero-energy (NZE) smart mote SiP for IoT applications.
