PM Insight-Fremont:
Digital Fuel: How Semiconductors Support the Software Ecosystem
Industry spending in digital transformation was more than $1 trillion in 2019 and expected to grow. A global health pandemic has ushered a critical urgency to be online, with many businesses now facing extinction if they are unable to deliver value in a new world of virtual connection. While discussion of digital transformation is typically centered on software, it is the underlying hardware that fuels this software ecosystem.
In this session, we will provide an introduction into the semiconductor industry and provide a foundational understanding of different types of integrated circuit building blocks that help enable major technological shifts. We will discuss how choices in semiconductor devices can impact software development (and vice versa) and help demystify common industry buzzwords that can make a difference when managing a large scale program.
Takeaways:
- Understanding the fluidity of the hardware/software stack
- Semiconductor device breakdown (ASIC, ASSP, FPGA, etc)
- Emerging and enabling features and capabilities
Demystifying buzzwords - Homogeneous Computing, Multi-Core SoC, DSP, MPU, and more
