As the dimensions of single chips approach the optical reticle limitations, highly complex systems must be inevitably partitioned into multiple chips.
Going against our long-held preference for "single-chip implementations," this trend has led to considerable work on chiplets in recent years.
Challenges abound in this domain, but combining high data rates with low power consumption per I/O lane has emerged as the principal thrust.
This presentation delves into the power-hungry functions in a chiplet environment and quantifies their speed-power tradeoffs, thus arriving at fundamental bounds.
We focus on three sections of the system, namely, the transmitter, the receiver, and the clock generator, and formulate their performance.

Abstract
SoC design challenges and opportunities for smart and secure cyberphysical systems in the world of Internet-of-Things (IoT) are presented, focusing on two distinct areas: (1) how to deliver uncompromising performance and user experience while minimizing energy consumption, and (2) how to provide cryptographic-quality “roots of trust” in silicon and resistance to physical side channel attacks with minimal overhead. SoC designs that span a wide range of performance and power across diverse platforms and workloads, and achieve robust near-threshold-voltage (NTV) operation in nanoscale CMOS, are discussed. Techniques to overcome the challenges posed by device parameter variations, supply noises, temperature excursions, aging-induced degradations, workload and activity changes, and reliability considerations are presented. True Random Number Generator (TRNG) and Physically Unclonable Function (PUF) circuits, the two critical silicon building blocks for generating dynamic and static entropy for encryption keys and digital fingerprints, respectively, are discussed. Power and electromagnetic physical side-channel-attack detection and mitigation techniques for enabling robust hardware security are also presented.

Abstract
The era of on-device AI is upon us. From GPT applications to the explosive popularity of AI, it is now easy to find around us and is creating reasons to change our smartphones. While cloud computing provides powerful performance, on-device AI research is actively being conducted for privacy and security reasons for personal data, and the development of an on-device AI computing system that is sensitive to energy efficiency and form factor is needed, unlike conventional AI accelerators. Memory companies are preparing various memory solutions for this. These include faster and more efficient LPDDR6 as an extension of existing LPDDR5, LLW DRAM, which can be considered the mobile version of HBM for server application, and DRAM with more innovative PIM technology. In this speech, I will explain various memory solutions and especially PIM technology. Unlike other memories, significant improvements in performance and energy efficiency are possible, but there are also additional considerations to take into account. I will share our perspective on PIM technology from the standpoint of a memory company and its future prospects.
