The Journey to Sustainable Intelligent System Design

Karna Nisewaner
Corporate VP, General Counsel & Corporate Secretary
Cadence

Abstract
The world is converting to data-driven everything, enabled by a seemingly endless stream of amazing semiconductor technological innovations. But the Earth is struggling to keep up, and a mindset of sustainable design is taking its rightful place near the top of the list of priorities. The promised value is tremendously exciting, yet how will we meet the demands of information gathering and knowledge extraction within the global energy envelope?As Moore’s Law is increasingly unable to keep up with the steep transistor scaling challenges ahead, purpose-built intelligent systems and computational software are rapidly becoming the pathway to extracting actionable business insights from exascale datasets. But even the processing Goliaths are challenged to bring these intelligent systems forward, increasingly overcome by an engineering skills shortage and resource and time-to-market constraints.Cadence general counsel and corporate secretary Karna Nisewaner will provide a glimpse of how Cadence engages in sustainable best practices and offers state-of-the-art generative AI system design strategies that will empower and embolden designers, accelerate innovation, and widen the path to a sustainable future.
