Data center, compute, and AI applications continue to demand higher bandwidth from electrical interconnects. The volume of short-reach links (less than a few cm) has exploded to facilitate high-bandwidth data movement between compute engines and memory in the AI era. This massive growth will continue as the industry moves towards highly-parallelized die-to-die interfaces to support chiplet-based architectures. However, power efficiency in these links is of paramount importance to maintain reasonable power levels within a compute drawer. This talk will focus on trends and advancements in power-efficient short reach links that aim to maximize the shoreline bandwidth density. Multi-disciplinary approaches involving circuit innovations, architectural advancements, data signaling techniques, and packaging technologies are required to deliver linear bandwidth densities above 1 Tbps/mm at power efficiencies below 500 fJ/<a href="http://bit.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="bit.Speaker(s):">bit.Speaker(s): Tod Dickson, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/481111

Silicon photonics are the semiconductor integration of EIC and PIC on a silicon substrate (wafer) with complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. On the other hand, co-packaged optics (CPO) are heterogeneous integration packaging methods to integrate the optical engine (OE) which consists of photonic ICs (PIC) and the electrical engine (EE) which consists of the electronic ICs (EIC) as well as the switch ASIC (application specific IC). The advantages of CPO are: (a) to reduce the length of the electrical interface between the OE/EE (or PIC/EIC) and the ASIC, (b) to reduce the energy required to drive the signal, and (c) to cut the latency which leads to better electrical performance. In the next few years, we will see more implementations of a higher level of heterogeneous integration of PIC and EIC, whether it is for performance, form factor, power consumption or cost.

AbstractAutonomous systems are increasingly pervasive, capable, and complex—but behind every such system lie one or more feedback loops that shape how it senses, decides, and acts. Control theory has guided feedback design for decades, yet modern systems now expose the limits of its model-based foundations. The models it relies on are frequently inaccessible, inaccurate, or too rigid to fully exploit today’s data, storage, and computational resources. This talk explores a modeling approach grounded in behavioral systems theory, where systems are defined not by equations but by the set of trajectories they exhibit. The structure—or “shape”—of this set determines not only its mathematical properties but, crucially, also its tractability, governing the analytical and algorithmic tools suitable for analysis and design. I will show how this framework offers a principled bridge between parametric and non-parametric representations, enabling scalable, adaptive, and certifiable control in real-world settings—from fault detection in building automation systems, to certification in algorithmic pipelines, to large-scale control in urban traffic networks. I will conclude by outlining emerging directions and open challenges, including nonlinear and distributed dynamics, uncertainty quantification, and architectural <a href="http://considerations.Co-sponsored" target="_blank" title="considerations.Co-sponsored">considerations.Co-sponsored by: nagamune@<a href="http://mech.ubc.caSpeaker(s):" target="_blank" title="mech.ubc.caSpeaker(s):">mech.ubc.caSpeaker(s): Alberto , Agenda: Agenda:Gathering: 3:45pm - 4:00pmTalk followed by Q&A: 4pm - 5:30pmRoom: 1203, Bldg: CEME , UBC Point Grey Campus, 6250 Applied Science Lane, Vancouver , British Columbia, Canada, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/479975
