“The impact of AI/ML computing on System-on-Chip and Semiconductor Technologies”

System-on-Chip (SoC) devices, comprising digital, analog, optical, RF, and Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), are the foundation of ubiquitous computing and the communication, entertainment, medical and logistics technologies underpinning emerging “Digital Societies”.

Recent advances in systems, packaging and process technologies are enabling the computation of hundreds of teraflops per chip and unleashing the massive rise of Artificial Intelligence-enabled products and applications.  This incredible demand for integration and computing per square millimetre of silicon creates new challenges with respect to storage, memory, security, reliability, power, on-chip communication, packaging and the management of design and verification. For 35 years the IEEE International System-on-Chip Conference (SOCC) has been the premier forum for sharing the latest advancements in SoC architecture, systems, logic and circuit design, process technology, test, design tools, and applications. We proudly continue this tradition with the 2022 conference at the birthplace of the Titanic in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
