Jim Foresi - Director, Automotive Semiconductor R&D Center, imec: Chiplet-Based Compute — Scalable Architectures for Autonomous Vehicle Platforms

As autonomous driving and advanced driver-assistance systems demand unprecedented computing power, traditional monolithic chip designs face limitations in scalability, cost, and reliability. Chiplet-based architectures offer a modular approach, enabling tailored, high-performance platforms that meet automotive safety and efficiency requirements. This presentation explores how chiplets support heterogeneous integration, improve supply chain resilience, and enable OEM differentiation. We will discuss design considerations, interoperability standards, and validation strategies critical for automotive-grade implementations. Attendees will gain insights into how chiplet technology can accelerate innovation while maintaining compliance with stringent automotive requirements.

In this session, you will learn:

  • Why chiplet architectures outperform monolithic designs for automotive compute
  • How modular integration enables scalable, cost-effective autonomous platforms
  • Key challenges in ensuring reliability and interoperability for chiplet systems
