Ampere Computing<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The semiconductor industry is witnessing a very historic and aggressive pace of development never seen before. Developments in CPU, GPU and xPU for example have leapfrogged AI applications, taken level-5 autonomous driving to a deployment phase, enabled new drug discoveries with accelerated genomics and molecular docking, vastly improved weather forecasts, etc. The forgoing are some of the exemplary use cases each of that spawn many more variants which grow their own product ecosystem. However, the developments of the processor variants which enable them and the access to their cloud-based services comes at enormous costs for new entrants as well as established enterprises. This not only stifles innovation but also denies opportunities to start ups and small to medium enterprises.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Ampere Computing has embarked on a different approach to address this shortfall by offering sustainable and energy-efficient cloud at the core. It is offering its state-of-the-art cloud native processors and augmenting them with AI compute-capable accelerators that enable the entire spectrum of application development in a modern day AI cloud. The key features of Ampere’s approach are agility and innovation in every phase of its product development -from concept, architecture, silicon design, test, platform development to deployment in the cloud. Lower cost, better performance and higher efficiency remain as the core values in Ampere’s portfolio.
\nRohit Vidwans will discuss what innovations are needed at the various stages of platform\/CPU development, test ecosystem and deployment. He will discuss some examples covering these areas. In closing, he will have a call to action for sustained innovations in the primary areas of CPU development and test through industry partnership and collaboration.<\/span><\/p><\/div>
