Presentation
Navigating the Tides of Funding for Chips and System Design
DescriptionFrom chips to systems, design and design automation are embracing extraordinary opportunities, propelled by myriad of exciting advances including (i) emerging technologies such as beyond-CMOS devices and 3D heterogeneous integration, (ii) alternative computation paradigms such as in/near-memory computing and domain-specific computing, and (iii) innovative computational methods such as large language models. At the same time, the field faces significant challenges, spurred by demanding applications like AI, autonomous systems, quantum computing and healthcare. Compounding these challenges is a growing workforce gap, which underscores the urgent need to attract and cultivate talent across the design and design automation community, spanning from chips to complete systems.
In response to these opportunities and challenges, governments and industry across the globe are making substantial investments in research and workforce development in this field. However, navigating the complexities of various funding programs for research and workforce development can be daunting even for seasoned researchers and educators. This panel brings together representatives from government funding agencies as well as academia to share their perspectives on these critical issues. Some questions to be discussed include (i) what the existing representative funding opportunities are and what specific aims that these opportunities try to address, (ii)
whether the funding opportunities have covered the needs well, and if not, what other areas would need more funding, and (iii) what common fallacies and pitfalls to avoid when preparing successful proposals.
