The relentless pace of Moore’s law has enabled rapid evolution of microprocessors performance with resulting dramatic increases in complexity. This talk will review some microprocessor design history and reflect on the speaker’s 40+ years of work in the semiconductor industry. Circuit innovation has been an important contributor delivering performance. However, the overriding requirement has been to deliver ever more complex high-quality designs on schedule to intercept the latest technology node. The goal of this talk will be to provide practical insights of value today and the future for engineers entering the field. Speaker(s): Bill Bowhill, Agenda: Presentation by Bill Bowhill: 12:00-1:00 PM Lunch and Reception: 1:00-2:30 PM Bldg: MIT Building 34, Grier Room A ( 34-401A), Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/436957

The number of connected devices is expected to reach 500 billion by 2030, which is 59-times larger than the expected world population. Objects will become the dominant users of next-generation communications and sensing at untethered, wireline-like broadband performance, bandwidths, and throughputs. This sub-terahertz 6G communication and sensing will integrate security and intelligence. It will enable a 10x to 100x increase in peak data rates. FPGAs are well positioned to enable intelligent radios for 6G when coupled with high-performance chiplets incorporating RF circuits, data converters, and digital baseband circuits incorporating machine learning and security. This talk presents use of 2.5D and 3D heterogeneous integration of FPGAs with chiplets, leveraging Intel’s EMIB/Foveros technologies with focus on one emerging application driver: FPGA-based 6G sub-THz intelligent wireless systems. Nano-, micro-, and macro-3D heterogeneous integration is summarized, and previous research in 2.5D chiplet integration with FPGAs is leveraged to forge a path towards new 3D-FPGA based 6G platforms. Challenges in antenna, packaging, power delivery, system architecture design, thermals, and integrated design methodologies/tools are briefly outlined. Opportunities to standardize die-to-die interfaces for modular integration of internal and external circuit IPs are also discussed.

IEEE PCJS Broadcast Technology Society is excited to announce the following talk: Digital Television Standards and Their Worldwide Impact Guest Speaker: Glenn Reitmeier Location: Computer Science Building (CS 105) Princeton University, Princeton, NJ Event: October 28, 2024, starting at 7:00pm to 9:00pm Brief abstract of talk: The development of digital standards for broadcast television was a seminal event - it was a pivot from many decades of analog video technology to the world of digital media and video streaming that today's audiences enjoy all over the world. This talk will discuss the technical roots of analog video standards, how the quest for a high-definition broadcast television standard in the 1990s was met by a radical leap to digital technology, the world's first digital TV standard (ATSC), and the recent development of the ATSC 3.0 standard for internet based broadcasting and streaming. Also discussed will be the adoption of digital television standards throughout the world, how government regulators have managed to transition from analog to digital broadcasting and the commercial impact of standards on consumer electronics products from TVs to smart phones. Speaker Bio: Glenn Reitmeier is widely recognized as a technology visionary and pioneer in the television industry. Throughout his career, he has been a leader in establishing revolutionary new digital standards that are now widely used in video production and in content delivery by over-the-air broadcasting, satellite, cable and video streaming over the internet. Now an independent consultant, Glenn is retired from 17 years at NBC Universal as Senior Vice President, Technology Standards and Policy, where he contributed to industry technical standards and to the technical aspects of the company’s government policy positions and commercial agreements. Previously, Glenn spent 25 years in digital video research at RCA/Sarnoff Laboratories. In addition to leading Sarnoff’s work on digital HDTV, his laboratory also spun out six technology startup companies in digital television and media. Glenn has served the industry as a Board member of the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC), the North American Broadcasters Associations (NABA) and the Open Authentication Technical Committee (OATC), and he has been Chairman of the Board of both ATSC and OATC. He is a SMPTE Fellow and a recipient of the Progress Medal and the Signal Processing Medal. He is also an inaugural member of the Consumer Technology Association’s (CTA) Academy of Digital Television Pioneers, a recipient of the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Television Engineering Award for lifetime achievement and a recipient of the ATSC’s Bernard J. Lechner Award for outstanding technical contributions. Glenn holds over 60 patents, has contributed to many Emmy award winning technologies and is recognized in the New Jersey Inventors Hall of Fame. He received his B.E.E from Villanova University and an M.S.E in Systems Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania.
