As autonomous vehicles demand higher compute performance, efficiency, and flexibility, the traditional monolithic System-on-Chip (SoC) architecture is nearing its limits. This talk explores the transition toward disaggregated computing architectures using chiplets—a modular approach that breaks down complex SoC designs into smaller, reusable silicon dies interconnected within a single package. By decoupling functional domains such as perception, planning, and control, chiplet-based designs promise scalability, heterogeneous integration, and improved thermal and power management. We will examine the implications of chiplet architectures for functional safety, low-latency data movement, and real-time performance, as well as the evolving standards and interconnect technologies enabling this paradigm shift in automotive computing.

Ericles Sousa holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering from FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany. He is an expert in SoC architecture, chiplet technology, and automotive computing. He is currently serving as Co-Chair of the UCIe Automotive Working Group. At Cadence, he specializes in automotive SoC architectures, focusing on real-time computing, safety, low-power systems, and scalable solutions based on chiplets. Dr. Sousa will share insights into UCIe integration and its impact on next-generation automotive computing.
