The design of advanced integrated circuits and microsystems from zero to terahertz frequencies calls for fast and accurate electromagnetics-based modeling and simulation. The sheer complexity and high design cost associated with the integrated circuits and microsystems prevent one from designing them based on hand calculation, approximation, intuition, or trial and error. The move towards higher frequencies and heterogeneous technologies stresses the need even more. However, the analysis and design of integrated circuits and microsystems impose many unique challenges on electromagnetic analysis such as exponentially increased problem size and extremely multiscaled system spanning from nano- to centi-meter scales. In her DML talk, Prof. Jiao will present recent advances in fast solvers to tackle these challenges.

FREE Webinar Northeast Chapter of the ESD Association joint meeting with IEEE Boston Reliability Chapter, and IEEE Boston Young Professionals Affinity Group ANSI/ESD S20.20 industry standard for static control programs undergoes revisions every 7 years. The current version was released in 2014 and the 2021 changes are expected to be released later this year or early next year. The 2021 revisions include both editorial and technical changes. During this tutorial you will learn what is new and what is missing. The changes expand the use of some test methods, require new tests and possibly new test equipment. Anyone involved with a static control program that is either compliant or certified to S20.20 will find important information in this webinar. A free download of the 2014 version is available at www.esda.org.

The current resurgence of artificial intelligence is due to advances in deep learning. Systems based on deep learning now exceed human capability in speech recognition, object classification, and playing games like Go. Deep learning has been enabled by powerful, efficient computing hardware. The algorithms used have been around since the 1980s, but it has only been in the last decade - when powerful GPUs became available to train networks - that the technology has become practical. Advances in DL are now gated by hardware performance. This talk will review the current state of deep learning hardware and explore a number of directions to continue performance scaling in the absence of Moore’s Law. Topics discussed will include number representation, sparsity, memory organization, optimized circuits, and analog computation. Speaker(s): Bill Dally, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/290553
