Thoughts on the Semiconductor Renaissance

Abstract

Many countries have prioritized semiconductor development. What does this mean for the MPSoC community? I will start with a brief reflection the impact of MPSoCs. I will then take a broad view of the semiconductor industry that takes into account the broad range of technologies and markets. I will close with a consideration of semiconductor workforce development and how to rebuild the pipeline of semiconductor talent.
