Abstract

As artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) drive innovation, their impact on the semiconductor market is transformative. This keynote will explore the latest AI/ML trends and their implications for SoC designs targeting high-performance compute, edge AI, and IoT applications. The presentation will cover AI/ML's role in developing next-generation semiconductor designs, including how AI/ML algorithms are incorporated into EDA tools to optimize chip design and enable efficient verification and manufacturing. Emerging AI/ML trends driving requirements for advanced neural processing units (NPU) will be explored, including generative AI applications like large language models and text-to-image generators. Finally, the role of transformer-based neural networks in implementing energy-efficient SoCs will be discussed.
