• Events

  • OCP Global Summit: October 17-19, 2023, San Jose, CA, USA

    • Leonardo Garcia and Jon Masters attended.

    • AI, AI, AI...

      • Huge data center infrastructure investments predicted for the next few years.

    • Contrary to last year, there was a very good presence of Arm, with lots of talks, very good representation, and a big booth.

    • I attended lots of talks on firmware and some talks on chiplets.

      • On firmware, focus was more on OpenBMC and CoreBoot/LinuxBoot.

      • On chiplets, I saw less traction that in previous conferences. Not because the topic is not important, but because there has been a transition from hype to real deployments, and the OCP standard has not been widely adopted. IEEE and UCIe seem to be more prevalent.

  • Linaro Partner Meeting: November 6-9, 2023, San Francisco, CA, USA

    • In-person Data Center Group steering committee meeting on Thursday afternoon, at 10 PM UTC (2 PM USA Pacific time).

    • Confidential Computing microconference.

    • Leonardo Garcia, Jon Masters, and Jonathan Cameron will be attending. Linaro will have 10+ attendees and at least 4 presentations.
