Abstract:
Having 5X to 10X higher data rate than 4G mobile which is already in a few hundreds Mbps, 5G mobile, which is said to be commercialized in 2020, presents a sounding challenge to implementation of ICs used in 5G mobile devices. 5G mobile is expected to embrace some new technologies. 1. going to high frequency spectrum with range of 6GHz to 60GHz. 2. adoption of new schemes like non-orthogonal multiplex and full duplex. 3. use of distributed radio and centralized computing. Proposed new technologies for 5G compose some of big IC implementation issues. Developing millimeter wave RF IC with cost and power consumption that could meet requirement of a mobile device is something that have not been done well so far. New link schemes like full duplex present implementation issues given high transmitting power in cellular system. New receivers with high data rate also require low power, high bandwidth, high precision ADC/DAC that can be integrated into a mobile SoC. Integration of distributed radio and merging of different cellular and non-cellular standards makes SDR necessary but a cost-effective power-saving SDR is difficult to achieve. In the presentation some key IC implementation challenges for 5G mobile devices are described, and technologies that may lead to possible solution to those challenging issues are discussed.

Abstract:
Systems Security is an established discipline with a very long and rich history stretching back multiple decades. This discipline is founded on well-accepted axioms such as the Trusted Computing Base and Reference Monitors. The progression of security technologies from secure operating systems and Security Kernels with processor support, to dedicated security subsystems such as Hardware Security Modules and Trusted Platform Modules, has mirrored the increased number and severity of vulnerabilities and the increasingly sophisticated threat landscape that has accompanied the exponential growth in functionality and complexity of computing systems. In the context of this long and rich history, its foundational axioms, the progression of security technologies, this presentation will discuss the importance of having a silicon-based root-of-trust to address the significant security challenges stemming from the emergence of billions of complex hyper-connected silicon systems. This root-of-trust approach must protect and manage sensitive data and operations, and securely enable functionality throughout the entire lifecycle of the silicon systems in which they reside. From initial manufacturing to in-field usage, a silicon-based root-of-trust directly supports secure provisioning, configuration, and operation for an increasing number of stakeholders that must rely upon the soundness of these security properties in order to support ever growing functionality and value.

Abstract:
In the modern automotive technology where Control (on mobility/energy in physical-world) meets IT (by information in cyber-world), we explore every capability of efficiency /performance /cost based on existing technology, with newer system challenges. Essential new sub-system technologies triggered by functionality requirements over physical through cyber systems include; security, functional safety, sensing, and connectivity etc.

On top of these sub-system technologies shared with motor-control, Industry 4.0 by M2M, and trillion sensory systems by IoT, a new challenge for 2030 should be the extensive system-wide knowledge and design through the physical and cyber systems (CPS) in coordinated ways in order to better use variety of existing semiconductor technology. On the other hand the system design should consider different physical/human system behaviors, for instance, in auto (instant mobility, idle, shut-down) and motor control in industry (constant mobility, 24/7/365 operations) applications.

In this talk the speaker re-evaluates Si design/technology capabilities and limitations in each of the key sub-system technology for personalized mobility and IoT into an agenda plan for 2030. Also issues in multi-system design, triggering innovation, R&D funding, and education are addressed in view of the roles taken by government/academia/industry.

Abstract:
The rate of data growth is expected to propel. People and things continue to generate data, some of which are then transmitted, stored and analyzed. In many ways, stored data pose a great value to those who have access to them---but only if the data can be accessed and analyzed in a timely manner. For many (new) interactive applications, traditional storage systems built with rotating magnetic media (hard disk drives) fall short because of their slow data access rate and high energy consumption. Clearly, solid-state memory and storage systems will play the central role in demanding big data analytics applications. For example, how quickly can you detect fraud in on-line transactions and how much memory is needed to hold critical data for fast decision making? How much stored data can one process in a given time to offer relevant in-situ business intelligence? Emerging memory- and storage-centric system architecture innovations are expected to enable cost-effective high-performance data analytics. In this talk, recent advances in solid-state memory and storage system technologies and new R&D challenges in the context of big data processing will be presented. In the course of the presentation some of the broader driving forces and trends in the memory industry will be outlined as well.
