Wednesday Keynote:
High-end Packaging Development: Opportunities and not Challenges
As silicon scaling has reached an asymptote, Packaging is now the key driver for increasing System bandwidth and performance. With Big Data and Analytics driving business decisions, high-end mainframes form the backbone of complex Cloud-based data-centers. After tracing the history of high-end Packaging, this keynote address will describe the opportunities available at the package and System level to drive the next-generation compute models. Opportunities span new packaging form-factors, advanced materials and complex assembly processes. Underlying such development is a need for unified testing and modeling standards.
Thursday Morning –
Stacked 3D Memory Technology – Challenges And Opportunities
The appetite for higher bandwidth and lower power are driving technologists and system architects to reconsider how processors and memory can work more efficiently and with improved proximity.ybrid Memory Cube (HMC) is a new memory architecture that enables significantly higher performance and lower energy per bit. HMC incorporates 3D Silicon integration with a stacked memory and controller in a single package incorporating heterogeneous multi die stacking with Through Silicon Vias. Enabling this technology has required innovation and integration and solving several technical challenges. In this talk key enabling technologies and their challenges will be discussed. The new 3D Memories such as Hybrid Memory Cube, Wide I/O 2, and High Bandwidth Memory provide opportunities for innovation in wafer and package technology for the future.
