Kfar Maccabiah | 8.11.2022 | 09:30-16:30 UNLEASH XPU PERFORMANCE Powering high performance computing As high-performance processor power levels continually rise, power system designers face ever-increasing PDN impedance voltage drops and power loss challenges. Vertical and lateral power delivery to the high-performance loads allows full PDN optimization. This will be a one-day free, in-person seminar. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.

Seminar's Agenda 09:35 | Introduction: HPC solutions overview The presentations in this Seminar look at the cabinet, rack, and board level challenges related to delivering power from primary sources to high power loads – and some innovative solutions. 09:50 | Last Inch solutions to unleash full processing power A description of Point-of-Load (PoL)/Last Inch solutions which provide high current/low voltage power to system-on-chip (SoC) devices. The presenter will also explain Vicor’s Factorized Power Architecture (FPA) as the underlying technology. 10:20 | Coffee 10:40 | Bridging: Coexistence of multiple intermediate buses Many data centers use legacy 12V power distribution systems. However, as loads steadily rise, 48V distribution is becoming increasingly popular. This presentation discusses techniques for 48V < — > 12V bridging. 10:55 | The front end: primary source-to intermediate-bus solutions A presentation of Vicor solutions for powering 48V power delivery networks (PDNs) from an AC or high voltage DC primary source

11:10 | Customer Case Study: edge computing An overview of the BRAINE Project – part of the European Commission initiative for big data processing at the network edge 12:10 | Lunch 13:10 | From the 48 VDC source to the point of load: PCB layout considerations PCB Layout and thermal design techniques for high density power systems 14:10 | Coffee 14:30 | Evaluation board implementation examples A set of evaluation board test results will be presented, covering pure lateral, lateral- vertical and pure vertical implementations. 15:30 | Closing remarks: Vicor’s commitment and readiness for HPC Our closing presentation covers Vicor’s recent industry first ChiP fab opening in Andover, our laboratory support in Europe, and our global customer base
