AI Supercomputing for Next-Generation Semiconductor Design and Manufacturing
Next-generation AI and accelerated computing are revolutionizing how semiconductors are designed, built, packaged, and tested. In this keynote, NVIDIA General Manager (GM) Industrial and Computational Engineering, Tim Costa, will explore how AI supercomputing enables a new era of smart manufacturing—from AI-driven chip design and physics-accurate simulation to autonomous robotics, photorealistic fab digital twins, and data-driven yield optimization across the production lifecycle. We’ll demonstrate how physical AI and GPU-accelerated workflows compress design cycles and boost yields across wafer fabrication. Central to this transformation is the AI Factory—a modern datacenter architecture delivering the compute scale needed to unify semiconductor R&D and front-end manufacturing, enabling real-time analytics, faster yield learning, and closed-loop optimization. Together, these advances are reshaping the semiconductor value chain, driving unprecedented speed, precision, and competitiveness for the industry’s next decade.
