DTMES 2022 - Presentation

Abstract - The electrical design of computer systems, which is often called signal integrity and power integrity, is a cross-discipline engineering effort essential to reliable operation of complex systems. Currently, the advancement of systems, integration of special processor cores and accelerators, and the realities of scaling silicon technology has created a challenge as well as a great opportunity for the electrical packaging engineer. The scope of this effort leads to advancing existing design practices to include co-design of chips and packages, multi-physics analysis with thermal-electrical analysis. Machine learning concepts are being developed to address the large amount of data and information available to design systems. This presentation will give background on the development of electrical techniques, tools, and methodologies applied to the design of systems and interesting research that needs to be pursued.
