[]Ensuring hardware system reliability is increasingly critical in the evolving AI landscape, particularly within data centers. Drawing upon extensive experience leading reliability initiatives for cutting-edge hardware, this presentation will outline a general methodology for designing reliable complex AI systems. It will emphasize the necessity of a multidisciplinary approach, integrating model-based system engineering, rigorous reliability testing, and continuous system improvements, as exemplified by advancements in liquid cooling and power delivery technologies for high-performance AI processors. The talk will focus on the reliability approach needed for resilience in complex, AI-driven environments. Speaker(s): Venkata Chivukula, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/485845

This talk addresses modern approaches to image and video compression through the lens of energy-efficient hardware design. Traditional codecs like JPEG and H.264 are increasingly being challenged by learned compression techniques based on deep neural networks, particularly autoencoders. While these methods offer state-of-the-art performance in rate-distortion trade-offs, their deployment in real-world systems depends critically on efficient circuit and architectural design. We will explore the structure and training of neural compression models, including variational autoencoders and entropy bottlenecks, followed by the challenges of implementing these models in energy- and area-constrained environments such as mobile devices, cameras, and edge computing systems.

SFBAC PELS WEBSITE LINK: https://r6.ieee.org/scv-pels/ Seminar Title: Point of load power converters and Processor power delivery Point of load converters are being used in a variety of applications. Efficiency, power density, size, cost, transient response and output current capability are some of the driving requirements. These requirements are severely challenged when powering modern data centers and AI processors. These processors are demanding up to 2000 Amp power supply solutions with increasing efficiency and transient performance. Given this, there is significant innovation happening in this area. This lecture will explain challenges and considerations of point of load power converters, how they are used for AI processors and data center processors, high performance processor power delivery and trends. About the Speaker : Indumini Ranmuthu is a distinguished member of technical staff in the power division at Texas Instruments. During his tenure Indumini has designed state of the art in power devices and semiconductor process technology. Indumini has over forty five US patents and published several IEEE papers. He received his PhD from Iowa State University. He is a distinguished lecturer for IEEE power electronics society USA and the IEEE Applied power electronics conference committee chair for debate sessions. He is currently in the high performance processor power division at TI.
