PRESENTATION(S)
- Kurt Herremans, Program Director Automotive
- June 19th - 9h20-9h40
- Autonomous Edge Chiplets: Building the Reference Platform for Scalable Edge Compute As compute demands continue to rise across automotive, robotics, aerospace and autonomous systems, chiplets are emerging as a critical path to scalable, affordable and interoperable edge platforms. In this presentation, Kurt Herremans of imec will outline imec’s Autonomous Edge Chiplet Program journey, from its automotive chiplet foundations toward a broader cross-industry architecture for autonomous edge applications.
The talk will cover the need for open chiplet standards, the evolution from automotive-focused programs to AECP/AECF, and imec’s work on quality, reliability, packaging, architecture and reference platforms. It will also highlight recent demonstrators, including QnR and architecture emulation activities, and introduce the Reference Architecture Specification as a practical recipe for building future autonomous edge chiplet ecosystems.
