今天的Meetup主要讲的是Google的Data Center中optical interconnection的应用。

Intel IoT platform Intel IoT Platform Sensors and things Arduino Gateway transfer data between different types of networks some data processing as well moving quickly: different types of data flexibility is important for scalability PMA: protocol mapper and adapter (UPAL) Security not only data, but also physical security data storage physically distributed depend on the data types, and there are so many of them different users use the same data in many different ways provide different sets of APIs at business level Real world IoT challenges 3 major areas connected things and devices intelligence and the edge turn data in to insight different applications cities: e.

汽车设计正在成为EDA公司的讨论热点。我个人觉得ANSYS应该算是其中翘楚，因为各种物理模拟器和散热模拟器是他们的传统强项。而诸如Synospsys和Mentor这样的软件厂商就更多的focus在电子系统上，硬件软件全部都有。 From Mindy: EDA厂商每年都要收购大量的小公司来保证自己的创造力。 ARM推出了专门针对Bluetooth 4.0的IP库和demo 有一家叫做flexlogic的公司，专门做FPGA阵列的IP，用于在普通的ASIC芯片上embed FPGA模块。但是这个模块的规模一般不会太大。跟他们现场的工程师聊天发现，他们和Marvell做SSD的Engling已经有合作了，用FPGA做在调试接口上，以少量的PIN来支持多种不同的调试协议。想法还是挺有创意的。

Bohr: moore’s law for 50 years $mm^2$ is increasing since 130nm heterogeneous intergration: 3D chip is not a replacement of moore’s law (quite opposite with Sehat) refocus on general purpose design Hill: 21 century computer architecture 21stcentruryarchitecturewhitepaper.pdf - instruction set is not going to be untouchable anymore - energy first - parallelism - specialization - cross-layout design - cross-cutting: break current layers with new interfaces - BREAK LAYERS - software bloat - PHP is 50x slower than BLAC - 3D stack - how to address thermal problem?
