SUMMARY:Glass-Core Packaging and Its Reliability
DESCRIPTION:In the past few years\, because of high-performance computing (HPC) driven by artificial intelligence (AI) and data centers in this AI era\, packaging using glass-core substrates has been attracting lots of traction. For example\, among others\, Intel’s one-trillion-transistors application processor with glass-core substrate is to be shipped by the end of 2030 (announced September 2023) and TSMC’s chip-on-panel-on-substrate (CoPoS) with glass-core interposer is to be shipped in Q1 of 2029 (announced April 2025). In this lecture\, a brief fundamental of through-glass via (TGV) and redistribution-layers (RDLs) of glass packaging will be presented. The advantages and disadvantages of glass\, silicon\, and organic will be discussed. Panel-level packaging vs. wafer-level packaging and the panel size will also be provided. Finally\, the effects of coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of glass-core substrate on the solder joint reliability on printed circuit board (PCB) will be presented. Some recommendations will be provided.\nSpeaker(s): John Lau\,\nSEMI World Headquarters\, 673 South Milpitas Blvd\, Milpitas\, California\, United States\, 95050

SUMMARY:Dual Seed Semi-Additive and Damascene Processes: Enabling Fine-Pitch Interconnects for Advanced Packaging
DESCRIPTION:[]\nAs AI\, high-performance computing\, and heterogeneous integration continue to scale\, advanced packaging is facing growing interconnect challenges across redistribution layers\, IC substrates\, HDI boards\, silicon vias\, and emerging glass-core platforms. Higher bandwidth and larger package form factors require finer wiring\, smaller vias\, higher fan-out density\, and more reliable vertical interconnects. In this context\, copper seed formation and via metallization are becoming increasingly important bottlenecks for next-generation package and substrate scaling.\nConventional copper deposition technologies\, including physical vapor deposition\, electroless plating\, and electroplating\, each play essential roles in today’s manufacturing flows. However\, as via structures become smaller\, deeper\, rougher\, or higher in aspect ratio\, limitations such as step coverage\, liquid circulation\, process uniformity\, and seed-layer continuity become more difficult to manage. These challenges are especially relevant across multiple interconnect layers\, including motherboard HDI PCBs\, IC substrates\, RDL\, memory and interposer silicon vias\, and Si BEOL metal\, etc.\nThis presentation will introduce Nano Copper Deposition as a solution family for AI-era interconnect scaling. The talk will cover DeepVia™ HDI for high-aspect-ratio via metallization in motherboard HDI PCBs\, DS-SAP™ for resolving the trade-off between thin surface seed layers and robust via coverage in IC substrates\, and other applications such as Dual Seed Damascene for fine and high-aspect-ratio damascene structures in BEOL and RDL applications\, and DeepVia™ Silicon for memory and interposer silicon vias. The discussion will highlight how these approaches can support higher I/O density\, improved escape routing\, reduced layer-count dependency\, and broader process flexibility for next-generation advanced packaging.\nSpeaker(s): Shinya Shimizu\,\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/565310

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)\, the gold standard for measuring environmental impact\, has historically been slow\, expensive\, and data-starved. But AI can change that. By automating data collection\, predicting missing inputs\, and scaling complex calculations\, “life cycle LLMs” can make LCA fast\, accurate\, and actionable. With better system-level visibility\, organizations can identify emission hotspots\, avoid false trade-offs\, and make decisions that genuinely move the needle on net-zero goals.\nSoftware itself is part of the problem\, but also a powerful lever. As computing’s carbon footprint grows\, developers can embed sustainability into their work through efficient algorithms\, leaner data flows\, and low-carbon infrastructure choices—what some call “green coding.” More importantly\, software can multiply impact: powering smart grids\, optimizing logistics\, or modeling entire supply chains. This talk makes the case that the biggest climate wins won’t come from treating sustainability as charity—they’ll come from treating it like the ultimate systems engineering challenge. \n**Speaker Bio**:\nJohanna Behm is a “recovering” event planner on a mission to help the events industry cut up to 10% of global carbon emissions by automating sustainability tracking and operational workflows for live events. \nA native of Finland\, Johanna grew up in a culture where sorting household waste into seven bins and minimizing waste was simply part of daily “workfow”. She was astonished by her industry’s wasteful nature and realized majority of sustainability-related problems can be attributed to poor planning and information gaps. While recruiting technical talent for her startup Envire\, Johanna also realized that most software engineers are not aware that their skills could be deployed to solve some of the most pressing environmental issues and social challenges our whole planet and humanity is facing today.Prior to his work at Google\, Saurabh gained valuable experience as an SRE at Okta. He is also a thought leader in SRE and cloud technologies\, a mentor for startup entrepreneurs through the Google for Startups program\, and a frequent speaker on the topic of foundational thinking for scalable and reliable system infrastructure.\n**[envire.ai](http://envire.ai/)** \n— \nValley Research Park is a coworking research campus of 104\,000 square feet hosting 60+ life science and technology companies.

SUMMARY:Closed-Loop Intelligence: How AI Plans\, Connects\, Fails\, and Learns Across the Hyperscale Infrastructure Lifecycle
DESCRIPTION:At AWS scale\, a single capacity planning error misallocates hundreds of millions in CapEx. Spreadsheets don't survive at this velocity — closed-loop AI systems do.\nThis session delivers a practitioner's unfiltered view from inside hyperscale infrastructure planning at AWS. We examine how AI pipelines connect demand forecasting\, gap analysis\, build planning\, and rack deployment into a single end-to-end system and what that looks like in operational reality. We explore how feedback loops enable planning systems to detect model drift\, recalibrate on actuals\, and compound forecast accuracy over time.\nBut intelligence without failure analysis is incomplete. We confront what happens when the forecast is wrong at scale\, how failure cascades across procurement\, deployment\, and customer commitments\, and how human-in-the-loop governance and explainable AI contain the damage and restore trust.\nAI that plans\, connects\, fails\, and learns.\nSpeaker(s): Nainsi Jain\,\nAgenda:\nArlington Central Library\n1015 N Quincy St\, Arlington\, Airlington\, Virginia\, United States\, 22201\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/560012

The first three are where product teams create value. The last one—state management\, history compression\, streaming\, cancellation\, tracing\, memory\, persistence—is 80% of the code but 0% of the differentiation.\nAt ThoughtSpot\, we built an Agent Platform that draws a hard line between agent logic and agent infrastructure\, letting product teams ship customer-facing agents faster by owning only what matters: their prompts and their tools.\nThis talk covers the infrastructure patterns behind that separation:\n**State management across tool calls.** Stateless tools (state on the agent\, passed as arguments) give you testability and let the LLM reason about state. Stateful tools (state in the tool service) avoid serialization overhead. I’ll walk through flow diagrams\, show how we propagate state via tool response metadata\, and discuss when each pattern fits.\n**Configuration-driven agent definitions.** Agents defined entirely through config—templated prompts\, tool endpoints\, sub-agent rules\, compression strategies. Teams ship agents without writing orchestration code.\n**Inter-agent communication.** Two patterns: agents-as-tools (sub-agent called like any tool\, returns structured output) and agent handoff (full conversation transfer). The platform handles routing and context—teams just declare delegation rules.\n**Shared memory across agents.** Memory in the platform\, not individual agents\, means knowledge accumulates across agent boundaries. Tiered scoping (tenant\, org\, user) with retrieval that surfaces relevant context regardless of which agent captured it.\n**Tool protocol design.** MCP as the base\, with patterns layered on top: cancellation semantics\, progress streaming\, context variable propagation\, and adapters for existing services.\nBuilding for customer-facing scale adds constraints—high concurrency\, encryption\, tenant isolation\, auditability—that shaped our API design throughout.\n**Takeaways:** \n* Mental model for separating agent value from infrastructure\n* State patterns: agent-side vs. tool-side tradeoffs\n* Inter-agent communication: tools vs. handoff\n* Shared memory architecture across agent boundaries\n* MCP extensions for production systems. \nSpeaker Bio\nAshish Shubham is Fellow/Vice President of Engineering at ThoughtSpot\, where he leads the architecture of enterprise-scale AI and embedded analytics platforms used by Fortune 500 organizations.

SUMMARY:Beyond the Model: The Industry Playbook for Scalable AI Systems
DESCRIPTION:As artificial intelligence transitions from experimental deployments to mission-critical production infrastructure\, organizations face a fundamental shift from model-centric optimization to system-centric engineering. While advances in model architectures and accelerator technologies have driven recent AI breakthroughs\, long-term performance\, reliability\, and sustainability increasingly depend on the interaction between compute\, memory\, networking\, software runtimes\, operations\, and governance. This talk presents an industry roadmap for building scalable AI systems that move beyond isolated model optimization toward adaptive\, software-defined AI platforms. The roadmap explores five interconnected layers—compute\, memory and data\, interconnect\, runtime and operating systems\, and operations and governance—and demonstrates how these layers collectively influence throughput\, latency\, cost\, energy efficiency\, reliability\, and compliance. The discussion introduces workload-aware architectures for inference\, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)\, agentic workflows\, multimodal applications\, and edge AI\, highlighting the growing importance of memory hierarchies\, topology-aware scheduling\, adaptive control loops\, and cluster-scale orchestration. A practical AI systems maturity model is proposed to help organizations assess current capabilities and prioritize investments\, progressing from ad hoc experimentation to autonomous\, policy-governed AI fabrics. The presentation concludes with a pragmatic execution framework and industry best practices for achieving predictable service levels\, operational resilience\, and sustainable AI economics. The central thesis is that future AI leadership will be determined not by model performance alone\, but by the ability to design\, operate\, and govern AI as an integrated systems platform\nCo-sponsored by: Vishnu S.

SUMMARY:How Tech is Reshaping Our Future
DESCRIPTION:**Registration at GVE website required:** \nhttps://rsvp.withgoogle.com/events/how-tech-is-reshaping-our-future-with-ronald-petty \n**How Tech is Reshaping Our Future** \nAs global demographics shift toward a new era of longevity\, we have a unique opportunity to refine the systems that support our communities. Our current social foundations—from urban design to healthcare and labor—were established in a different era. Today\, as we live longer\, healthier lives\, there is a vibrant conversation emerging about how our societal structures can evolve to match this modern reality. \nJoin tech consultant Ronald Petty for a free\, engaging exploration (for ages 18+) of how society can flourish in this new civilizational stage. \nThis session highlights two converging forces: \n**Empowerment Technology:** A look at how Gemini\, robotics\, and assistive systems (such as AR glasses and voice agents) serve as “independence-enhancing tools.” These innovations are designed to support personal autonomy and create a seamless environment for people of all ages. \n**The Multi-Generational Social Shift:** A forward-looking discussion on evolving retirement trends\, collaborative healthcare models\, and the strengthening of family and community frameworks.\nRather than viewing the future through a single lens\, this talk invites you to explore how we can collaboratively update our societal contract. We will discuss how productivity gains from technology can be used to support life-long fulfillment and how the “human touch” in caregiving can be augmented\, rather than replaced\, by innovation. \nPlease bring your thoughts on this topic and get ready for some discussion!

SUMMARY:Attention-Guided Audio Compression for Multimodal LLMs
DESCRIPTION:Audio compression is often proposed to improve the efficiency of multimodal large language models\, but its impact on downstream task performance remains underexplored. This talk examines how semantic neural audio codecs behave under token reduction constraints\, using cross-modal attention as a signal to discard frames with low semantic content. On audio question-answering benchmarks\, attention-guided frame selection removes 10–30% of frames while matching baseline accuracy and answer consistency\, and identifies a critical compression threshold (keep ratio ~0.7) below which performance degrades sharply. The talk also discusses an "answer consistency paradox" where models remain highly self-consistent (>98%) even as accuracy degrades and what this decoupling of consistency from correctness means for evaluating compressed multimodal systems in low-resource deployments.\nSpeaker(s): Prerana\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/563360

SUMMARY:Systematically Managing Complexity in Power Electronics Modeling and Design
DESCRIPTION:Power electronics is a foundational technology that drives a wide range of important and emerging applications including cloud computing\, wireless communications\, robotics\, and smart energy systems. By systematically managing the increased complexity in materials\, circuits\, and systems\, new opportunities are created to greatly advance the functionality and performance of power electronics systems.\nThis speech provides a few examples to illustrate the potential of managed complexity in power electronics design. These include: 1) modular and scalable architecture for systematically managed complexity in high performance circuits; 2) artificial intelligence and machine learning for systematically managed complexity in passive component modeling. This managed complexity approach addresses key challenges in emerging applications by overcoming traditional design barriers from new angles and redefining how power electronics are conceived and implemented in complex systems.\nSpeaker(s): Minjie Chen\nMurata Electronics North America\, Inc.\, 1732 North First Street #500\, San Jose\, California\, United States\, 95112
