United States 800x800_Futrue_Computing Business Executive Technical

As AI proliferates rapidly, AI models and datasets are also growing rapidly in size, giving rise to two fundamental challenges. First, this growth far outpaces performance improvement in hardware systems and infrastructure, and second, the energy consumption for AI continues to grow unsustainably.

These challenges are formidable and cannot be solved by one entity or in isolated silos. SEMI (www.semi.org), a global electronics industry association with 3300 member companies, is organizing this workshop under its Smart Data-AI Initiative. We are bringing together experts to discuss the latest innovations in the entire-AI ecosystem – including novel devices, 2D materials, analog computing, advanced packaging, chiplets, photonics, hardware-software co-optimzation and energy-efficient architectures & algorithms for data centers, cloud & edge.

Please join us on March 19th in Milpitas, CA. We will start with an inspiring keynote from Tristan Holtam, GVP, CEO Chief of Staff, Corporate Strategy and Development, Applied Materials, and continue through the day with industry leaders (AMD, Arm, ASE, Google DeepMind, IBM, Intel, Lam Research, Mckinsey, Micron, Nvidia, Qualcomm, SK Hynix); exciting start-ups (Cerebras, LightMatter, Mentium) and leading-edge academic researchers (Stanford U. and U. of California). Together, let us explore collaborative, system-level solutions for sustainable progress in AI systems.

United States ESDA Webinar - SEMI License Server Certification Protocol Business

SEMI License Server Certification Protocol

The SEMI Server Certification Protocol was developed to minimize the unauthorized use (piracy) of licensed software. Developed by a partnership of companies in the Electronic Design Automation (EDA) industry and managed by the Electronic System Design Alliance, a SEMI Technology Community, the protocol is applicable to many high-value software solutions. The protocol achieves this by being able to uniquely identify license servers – closing a loophole that is often exploited to enable unauthorized software use.

Later this year, SEMI will begin offering licenses to the protocol to companies wishing to strengthen their software license management systems against unauthorized usage. 

On Wednesday, September 27th, the ESD Alliance will be presenting a webinar on the protocol including:

  • How software piracy impacts both software vendors and their customers
  • An overview of how the protocol is used to prevent license server duplication
  • A description of the protocol and its scope
  • How the protocol can be integrated into a software license management system
  • Additional background on use cases and how the protocol can be applied in different environments

The webinar will be presented by the chair of the joint development team that developed the protocol and will include a Q&A session.

Leveraging the CHIPS Act: Texas Semiconductor Industry Incentives & Initiatives

Texas is the top state in the nation for semiconductor manufacturing, according to Business Facilities Magazine, and has led the nation for 12 years in a row in the exporting of semiconductors and other electronic components. Join SEMI and the Texas Economic Development & Tourism Office (EDT) for an overview of the Lone Star State’s plan to continue leading the nation in the research, design and production of semiconductors. 
 
Significant industry investments announced in Texas in the last two years will accelerate domestic semiconductor manufacturing, reducing reliance on foreign production and supply chains and further ensuring our national security. Texas has the innovation, the infrastructure and the talent to continue to lead the American resurgence in critical semiconductor manufacturing and the technologies of tomorrow. 

This webinar will provide the opportunity to learn more about the state’s new incentives and initiatives that leverage the federal CHIPS Act, including the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Consortium and the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund. 

Join us to learn more about how Texas is focused on the future of semiconductor industry development!
