Session: Enabling the Era of Hyperconnectivity and Hyperscale Computing
According to Seagate and IBS estimates, by 2025, sensors will create exabytes of data per day. Next-generation networks carry data at the lowest latencies possible, enabling never before seen “hyperconnectivity,” and zettabytes of data need to be stored in the global datasphere. In addition, consumers expect instantaneous responses to all their needs, requiring networks, storage, and compute to “hyper-scale” to speeds and capacities that are hard to comprehend, coining the term “hyperscale computing.”
This presentation will illustrate the value chain from semiconductors to software, and systems, enabling the development of disruptive technologies, from 5G to artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) and from the industrial internet of things (IIoT) to autonomous vehicles. These technologies drive changes in consumer electronics, computing, communications, automotive, mobile, aerospace, industrial, and healthcare industries. We will also introduce how Electronic Design Automation (EDA) and Computational Software enable ”Intelligent System Design” to create electronic chips and systems to develop these technologies that consumers use daily.
