SUMMARY:Approaching System Reliability in the AI Era
DESCRIPTION:[]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.\nSpeaker(s): Venkata Chivukula\,\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/485845

SUMMARY:IEEE SPS SCV - Energy-Efficient Neural Image and Video Compression
DESCRIPTION: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.\nSpeaker(s): Mateus Grellert\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/487438

SUMMARY:Datacenter VR Power Delivery Solutions
DESCRIPTION:The SFBAC (combined Santa Clara Valley\, San Francisco\, & Oakland/East Bay) IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS) is very pleased to invite you to our upcoming in-person event celebrating PELS DAY. We are excited and honored to have Dr. Indumini Ranmuthu\, Distinguished Member Technical Staff of the Texas Instruments and the IEEE Power Electronics Society Regional Distinguished Lecturer to speak on the topic of “Datacenter Voltage Regulator Power Delivery Solutions” on June 26\, 2025.\nDoors will open at 6:30pm; the seminar will start at 7:00pm. Snacks and refreshments will be provided free of charge to all attendees.\nRegistration is $5\, payable at the door with the exception for current students who must register with their *.edu emails. You may register ahead of time without paying\, but ALL ATTENDEES (except for students) will need to pay at the door.\nSFBAC PELS WEBSITE LINK: https://r6.ieee.org/scv-pels/\nSeminar Title:\nDatacenter VR Power Delivery Solutions\nThis talk will provide an overview of state of the art point of load VR power delivery solutions for Data center CPUs and power delivery architectures. This talk will expand on 12V to 0.8 –1.8V and 5V to 0.8-1.8V 500-1000A VR solutions as well. This will illustrate impacts on efficiency and solution size.\nAbout the Speaker :\nIndumini Ranmuthu is a Distinguished Member Technical Staff (DMTS) in power division at Texas Instruments\, driving design and technology of advanced power products. During his tenure Indumini has advanced the state of the art in power devices and semiconductor process technology. Indumini has over forty US patents and published fifteen IEEE papers. He received his PhD from Iowa State University. He is currently in the Multiphase processor power division at TI. He has been the APEC conference committee chair for Rap sessions since 2017 and was the APEC Rap session chair on power supply on chip for the past 3 years.\nSpeaker(s): Indumini Ranmuthu\nRoom: Team Room (3rd Floor) – Auditorium\, Bldg: Plug and Play Tech Center\, 440 N Wolfe Rd\, Sunnyvale\, California\, United States\, 94085
