DESCRIPTION:Maciej J. Ogorzalek is Professor of Electrical Engineering and
  Computer Science and Head of the\nDepartment of Information Technologies\
 , Jagiellonian University Krakow\, Poland.\nHe held many visiting position
 s in Switzerland\, US\, Spain\, Japan\, Germany. Between 2006-2009 \nhe h
 eld the Chair of Biosignals and Systems\, Hong Kong Polytechnic University
  under the Distinguished Scholars Scheme. Currently he is visiting profess
 or at the Integrated Systems Laboratory at EPFL.\nAuthor or co-author of o
 ver 380  papers published in journals and conference proceedings and a bo
 ok\nChaos and Complexity in Nonlinear Electronic Circuits. \nHe gave over
  60 plenary and keynote lectures at major conferences world-wide.\nHe serv
 ed as Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Magazine (2004-2007
 )\, member of the editorial boards of the IEEE Transactions on Circuits an
 d Systems Part I\, Proceedings of the IEEE\, International Journal of Bifu
 rcation and Chaos\,  International Journal of Circuit Theory and Applicat
 ions  also  the NOLTA Journal IEICE Japan.\nDr. Ogorzalek is IEEE Fellow
  (1997). He was IEEE 2008 Circuits and Systems Society President.\nHe serv
 ed as IEEE Division 1 Director\, Member of the IEEE Board of Directors  (
 2016-2017).\nHe is Member of the Polish Academy of Sciences (PAN) and  Me
 mber of the European Academy of Sciences (Academia Europaea).\nAbstract: 
 Integrated  circuits are omnipresent. We not only use mobile phones\, per
 sonal computers but we are surrounded by systems whose operation \nhighly
  depends on advances sensors\, processing systems\, controllers etc.  s
 uch as  home appliances\, cars\, smart cards\, smart energy systems\, bio
 -medical  equipement\, smart offices\, transportation systems and many o
 thers. \nThere are more and more new applications appearing in the pictur
 e with enormous data flows to deal with and process for our advantage.\nOn
 e of these application areas is Artificial Intelligence (AI) and specifica
 lly Deep Learning in various domains of applications.\nFor these new envis
 aged applications we will need electronic systems with much improved\, may
 be 1000 times\,  performance in terms of power consumption\, speed of ope
 ration and reliability. Data transfer bottleneck\, power consumption and 
 scalability become major obstacles to be overcome.\nAs the sizing of trans
 istors in current technologies comes to the atomic distance limitations fu
 rther development becomes possible by either \nintroduction of new disrup
 tive technologies or changing in geometric arrangements and architectures
  of the elements and building blocks.\nSome limitations in microcircuit co
 nstructions can be avoided by putting whole building blocks and sub-circui
 ts in stacks. Such an approach allows for more efficient space usage at 
 the same time allowing circuit footprint reduction. New routing solutions 
 offer very significant wire-length reductions thus reducing power dissipa
 tions and signal delays.  \n3D integration looks as a fantastic  area of
  development\, however\, there are many new challenges and problems to be 
 solved for the next \ngeneration of nano systems. 3D integration offers 
 also unprecedented opportunities by allowing blocks fabricated in heteroge
 neous\n technologies to be integrated in one chip. This allows for stack
 ing and integration of microprocessors\, memories\, RF circuitry\, sensors
 \, \nbatteries and hyper-capacitors\, energy harvesting blocks\,  biolog
 ical and chemical sensors and many new types of building blocks in one c
 hip. \nHowever innovation is needed for new developments.  AI accelerati
 on requires still better solutions!\nIn this lecture we will present the 
 state of-the-art and an outlook with commentaries what kind of new solutio
 ns might be needed.\n
