PPPEAC hosted a technical talk on Monday, February 15, 2021, from 4:30 to 5:30 PM. The talk ran on Zoom, hosted by Princeton University. Prof. Minjie Chen of Princeton invited the speaker, Dr. Houle Gan of Google.
Power Integrity: Ensuring Robust End-to-End Power Delivery
High-performance processors need a stable voltage at the active junction. Power conversion and power integrity design often happen as separate tasks. This talk argues for a combined approach, which matters more as machine learning, AI, and cloud workloads change power demands. The talk explores the risks, the opportunities, and practical design considerations.
