Exploring Next Generation Computing Platform: from Edge to Cloud

Abstract

Moore’s Law, doubling the number of transistors in a chip every two years, has so far contributed to the evolution of computer systems. Unfortunately, we cannot expect sustainable transistor shrinking anymore, marking the beginning of the so-called post-Moore era. Therefore, it has become essential to explore emerging devices. On the other hand, another trend is the spread use of IoT systems, and they have a kind of diversity in terms of computing platforms. This talk shares our two research activities regarding next-generation computing platforms: exploring cryogenic superconductor computer architecture for ultra-high-speed low-power cloud computing and constructing an IoT platform and its ecosystem.
