Vehicle systems and the semiconductors used within them represent some of today’s most complex electronics. In the drive to autonomous vehicles, increasingly sophisticated electronic systems are being developed for powertrain and vehicle dynamics, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), vehicle-to-everything (V2E) connectivity, infotainment, and in-vehicle experience. In addition to achieving higher levels of performance, these systems must meet automotive functional safety requirements as specified by ISO 26262.

CXL 3.0: Enabling composable systems with expanded fabric capabilities
Watch the latest CXL Consortium webinar, “CXL 3.0: Enabling composable systems with expanded fabric capabilities. In August 2022, CXL Consortium released the CXL 3.0 specification. CXL 3.0 expands on previous technology generations to increase scalability and optimize system level flows with advanced switching and fabric capabilities, efficient peer-to-peer communications, and fine-grained resource sharing across multiple compute domains. It also doubles the data rate to 64 GT/s with no added latency over CXL 2.0, while maintaining backward compatibility with previous specifications.
How CXL Technology will Revolutionize the Data Center
With CXL technology, the industry is pursuing tiered-memory solutions and composable architectures that would match the amount of compute, memory and storage in an on-demand fashion to address the needs of wide range of workloads. Hear from IDC guest speaker, Jeff Janukowicz, and Rambus’ Mark Orthodoxou, as they set the market context, describe use cases and provide adoption expectations for the industry.
Automotive Security: Navigating the Intersection of Safety and Security
Vehicle systems and the semiconductors used within them are some of the most complex electronics seen today. Ensuring these systems are both functionally safe and secure from cyberattacks is mission critical. Join us for this presentation where Thierry Kouthon of Rambus, and Ann Keffer of Siemens EDA will discuss hardware solutions for securing automotive electronics and how functional safety tools from Siemens can help ensure these solutions meet the requirements of ISO 26262.
Memory Encryption Solutions for Protecting Data in Use
There are many challenges to achieving good “memory security,” especially in that the term “memory” could refer to on-chip SRAM, embedded non-volatile memory, or even off-chip memory (e.g., both DRAM or mass-storage non-volatile). We refer to data within non-executable NVM to be “data at rest,” while data within volatile memory like SRAM or DRAM to be “data in use.” In both domains, data within these memories is of interest to an adversary – it has either immediate value (e.g., passwords, secret keys, AI/ML datasets, etc.), or it can indirectly lead to exposure of those valuable assets. This presentation will focus on the key aspects of memory security for data-in-use applications: 1) data privacy, 2) data authenticity, and 3) data freshness, and how those security aspects weigh against critical performance metrics including latency and memory overhead.
Securing the Semiconductor Supply Chain with Silicon Provisioning and Cloud Key Management
The semiconductor industry is the lifeblood of the digital economy. The design, manufacturing and consumption of chips is a global ecosystem, and competition is fierce as scaling and cost reductions based on Moore’s law are diminishing. Counterfeit and other unauthorized chips create real risks in areas of reliability, functionality, performance and safety. Joseph Gow will discuss how semiconductor companies can protect their IP and business by securely provisioning silicon, and the means to provide the ecosystem-wide capabilities needed to verify the identity and provenance of semiconductor devices.
