AI Hardware Alley - Broadening the 2023 Exhibition Lineup

DAC 2023 is excited to showcase a zone on the exhibition floor dedicated to the artificial intelligence (AI) hardware ecosystem.  AI hardware is driving the largest wave of chip-design activity in decades, and DAC’s role as the innovation epicenter of the global electronics industry makes it the perfect place to showcase the enormous application potential of AI.  

Ideas and research around AI have been a key part of the DAC program exhibits for several years.

Since 2018, submissions of AI/ML papers to the DAC program have increased by 86%.

In 2022, 30% of DAC program sessions focused on AI hardware; software design; development challenges, along latest research findings.

 

The 2023 DAC program is please to feature Dr. Ian Cutress,  CEO, Founder, Chief Analyst - More Than Moore presenting an analyst review of the AI Hardware Landscape

Rapid Growth of AI Hardware Startups

The Global Edge AI Hardware Market size as reported by Research and Markets is expected to reach $21.4 billion by 2028, rising at a market growth of 17.4% CAGR during the forecast period. 

In March 2022, CB Insights reported 2021 was a year of unprecedented AI private market activity.  It was a record year for AI with more than $66 billion in funding, up 108% from 2020.  This created a surge in M&A activity, a 5x increase in so-called unicorn births and multiple AI companies with more than $1 billion exit valuations.

DAC welcomes the companies that focus on the following areas to exhibit:

  1. AI infrastructure in data centers, hardware for training and inference at scale
  2. Edge computing applications for AI accelerators, TinyML systems and hardware
  3. AI’s impact on memory, storage and networking
  4. ML model-hardware co-design, robustness and re-programmability, model standardization and interoperability
  5. AI chip design and commercialization: design, testing and manufacturing, and routes-to-market.

The AI Hardware Alley is located on the first floor of Moscone West Center and associated with the DAC Transformative Technologies Theater (T-Cube), which hosts hourly presentations over three days, attracting 150-300 attendees to each presentation.  Each participating company in the AI Hardware Alley will also receive an opportunity to present in the T-Cube theater.  T-Cube theatre presentations include AI Hardware Alley exhibitor presentations, AI technical community panels, AI/machine learning discussions along with other invited transformative technology Techtalks and panels.

DAC invites all companies that are part of this vital and expanding area of the electronic design industry to participate and exhibit in the AI Hardware Alley.
