Abstract
The evolution and consolidation of the semiconductor industry has made collaboration with
academia more challenging and even more essential. Public- private partnerships like the SRC
STARnet and JUMP programs are working examples of productive collaborative research. Some
examples of key challenges and breakthroughs will be discussed along with a forward looking
perspective of opportunities to continue to enhance compute capabilities by leveraging basic
research resources.
