This document proposes a no-human-in-the-loop open-source "idea to manufacturing" SoC compiler. It consists of SoCGen, which generates RTL from a JSON description, and OpenLANE, which produces a clean GDSII layout from the RTL with no human intervention. SoCGen includes a library of open-source verified IP cores and supports multiple bus architectures. OpenLANE uses carefully-curated open-source EDA tools tuned for an open PDK. The goal is to streamline and automate the entire custom SoC design process from concept to silicon to enable more widespread adoption.
RISC-V growth and successes in technology and industry - embedded world 2021RISC-V International
RISC-V International has more than 1,000 members across over 50 countries who are working in hardware, software, services, and various industries for a strong and healthy RISC-V ecosystem. It is projected that by 2025 there will be over 62 billion RISC-V CPU cores and the total market for RISC-V IP and software is expected to grow to over $1b by 2025.
In 2020 alone, we saw successes with newly defined RISC-V accelerator architectures, affordable RISC-V open source small-board computers, development boards for personal computers, and an incredibly fast 64-bit RISC-V Core as the community also ratified key specifications and made advances in security.
As we see the growth of RISC-V into industries such as AI, machine learning, blockchain, 5G, medical, and industrial, we will see the ratifications of new extensions that enable this growth.
Join Kim McMahon, Director of Marketing and Stephano Cetola, Technical Program Manager as we take a look at where RISC-V is going in 2021.

Про доклад:
Мы реализуем CI/CD на базе Azure DevOps для нашего приложения в МикроСервисном стиле, которое хостим на Azure Kubernetes Services на протяжении более чем 6 месяцев. Мы хотим поделиться нашими успехами и ошибками в CI/CD с разработчиками и DevOps инженерами. Мы продемонстрируем наши подходы и реализации к Build/Release, созданию сред тестирования с использованием ARM шаблонов, согласования установки приложения на рабочие среды и эволюцию этих процессов со временем.
It’s surprisingly straightforward to migrate feature code from the CPU to the DSP – and determine the resulting benefits to the end application. In this session we’ll demonstrate Qualcomm® Hexagon™ SDK installation, code generation, profiling and execution of dynamic code modules on a Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ hardware target, and you’ll learn how to analyze the resulting performance benefits. Qualcomm Snapdragon and Qualcomm Hexagon are products of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.
