The Rambus 2020 Design Summit kicks off on Thursday, October 08, 2020 at 09:00 AM Pacific Daylight Time. Throughout the day, our technology experts will discuss the selection and implementation of IP solutions across multiple markets such as the data center, 5G/edge and IoT devices, and AI/ML applications. Critical enabling IP that will be covered during the summit includes HBM2E, GDDR6 and PCIe 5 interfaces, as well as Root of Trust and 800G MACsec security solutions.
IDC’s Shane Rau, who leads computing semiconductor research within IDC’s Enabling Technologies team, and Rambus fellow Dr. Steven Woo will offer their respective visions of how the latest technology developments are shaping the evolution of the data center and AI/ML. Chip designers and architects can register here to gain expert insights and practical information for the implementation of their next-generation SoCs.
Specific session details are below.
Session 1: Protecting Data at Rest and in Motion (9:00 – 10:45)
With the rising value of data travelling across the global network, implementing robust hardware-level security is more important than ever. Technology experts from the Rambus security business will discuss the methodology of security by design, as well as the implementation of hardware root of trust and protocol engine solutions. A live Q&A session is slated to follow the presentations.
Specific topics and presenters include:
* Security by Design Approach – Neeraj Paliwal
* Choosing the Right Root of Trust – Bart Stevens
* Protecting Data in Motion with MACsec – Gijs Willemse
* Security Q&A
Session 2: Data Center Evolution Roundtable (11:00 – 11:45)
In this roundtable session moderated by Ed Sperling of Semiconductor Engineering, IDC research vice president, Shane Rau, will lay out the macro trends that are shaping the future of the data center, and the impact of these trends on compute and network device architectures. Rambus technology leaders – including Matt Jones, John Eble, and Neeraj Paliwal – will discuss various chip and IP solutions to optimize data center performance and harden security.
Session 3: Moving Data Faster (12:00 – 1:45)
With data across the global internet rising at an exponential pace, the need for higher data rates and more bandwidth is an imperative. Technology experts from the Rambus interface IP business will provide insights and recommendations for implementing HBM2E and GDDR6 high-bandwidth memory, along with the latest-generation PCIe 5 interface solutions. A live Q&A session will follow the presentations.
Specific topics and presenters include:
* HBM2E Selection and Implementation – Frank Ferro and Joe Rodriguez
* GDDR6 Selection and Implementation – Frank Ferro and Joe Rodriguez
* PCIE 5 Selection and Implementation – Phani Paladugu and Vinitha Seevaratnam
* Interface IP Q&A
Session 4: How Bandwidth is Key to Unlocking Greater AI Performance (2:00 – 2:50)
Rambus fellow and distinguished inventor, Dr. Steven Woo, will explore the latest developments in AI/ML training and inference. AI/ML performance is advancing at an astonishing rate thanks to purpose-built AI accelerators. Dr. Woo will discuss how emerging memory and system interfaces are key to providing the bandwidth needed for the next generation of AI/ML hardware. A live Q&A session will follow the presentation.
