Keynote: Accelerating GenAI computing through Semiconductor Innovations |
Mukesh Khare Talk DetailsThe semiconductor industry is projected to reach $1T globally by 2030. Much of the growth is fueled by increasing compute demands from artificial intelligence. The increasing demand on the compute used to build, tune and deploy generative AI models is in turn driving significant opportunity to innovate at the semiconductor technology level. This talk will highlight IBM's innovation in advanced semiconductor and AI technology to secure our future in this exciting new chapter for AI. |

Keynote: ML4ML: The intriguing interplay between Machine Learning and Moore's Law |
Partha Ranganathan Talk DetailsWe are at an exciting time in the industry. The exploding demand for computing for new AI/ML workloads, at the same time Moore's Law is slowing down, and the resulting combination of opportunity and scarcity, have together triggered a wave of new innovations. In this talk, we will discuss some recent new ideas resulting from the synergistic interplay between machine learning and Moore's law. We will present how hardware/software co-design has enabled innovative custom silicon and software-defined hardware, to support a new "Moore's law for ML", and the exciting opportunities ahead. Reciprocally, ML techniques have also been transformative in improving the design and efficiency of existing infrastructure, extending generational performance improvements of new hardware. We will discuss some key innovations in this area, as well as the significant opportunities ahead for more such applications of "ML for Moore's Law." |
