#LSIEurope24 is less than two months away already! Can’t believe it. Here are some quick LSI Europe ‘24 updates for the week: • We’ve announced our last call for presenter applications. There are only a limited number of spots remaining before we reach capacity so if you want to present, apply today while space is still available. • We’re seeing unprecedented investor turnout. This year, we will host more top funds than ever before, creating the highest investor-to-attendee ratio in our history. • On Wednesday we announced Alan Cohen, General Partner at DCVC as a Keynote speaker for the event. Alan's Keynote will be based on his recently published thesis "The TechMed Movement Has Arrived.” • We’re announcing new panel sessions daily with 10 announced so far. LSI Europe ‘24 will feature over 40 total sessions, so stay tuned to see what else we have up our sleeve. See you in Portugal in ~8 weeks See you in Dana Point in ~34 weeks See you in Singapore in ~46 weeks #memefriday

189 pages of Europe's #quantum industry roadmap. Selected quotes from the conclusions tells how critical it is for #government and #publicpolicy to be awake. "Countries around the globe have identified QTs as a strategic resource for their futures ... Europe must deploy the necessary financial resources, make available leading infrastructure, and facilitate the attraction and development of talent within the ecosystem." "Access to subsidised use of pilot lines and test facilities are critical ... The absence of a European supply creates a risk" "European governments must act as early adopters of QTs." "European governments should create incentives for the generation of IP." And the very final sentence: " It is therefore imperative for policy- and decision-makers to take close note of the recommendations included in this report, and extend the range of support for the commercialisation of QTs in Europe." https://lnkd.in/d6Krn7SD

🚀 Final Version of the ECS-SRIA 2024: the downloadable PDF version is now available! 📢 We are thrilled to announce the release of the final version of the ECS Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (ECS-SRIA) for 2024. This marks a significant milestone, thanks to the combined efforts of more than 300 ECS experts, coordinated by AENEAS, EPoSS Association, and Inside Industry Association. 🔍 What's New in the 2024 Edition? 🔹 The ECS-SRIA 2024 aligns with the European Chips Act, fostering innovation and strategic growth in the ECS sector. 🔹 Focus on AI & Quantum Technologies: Emphasizing the evolution and integration of AI in ECS, along with a renewed focus on quantum technologies. 🔹 Open-Source Hardware & Software Integration: Incorporating insights from the Open-Source Hardware and Software Working Group, this edition paves the way for Europe to become a leader in this critical area. The ECS SRIA 2024 is the basis for you to prepare your project proposals for the Chips Joint Undertaking 2024 calls (non-initiative).

At the EuroP4 Workshop on October 28th, join us to for a presentation based on the paper “Deliberately Congesting a Switch for Better Network Functions Performance” by Mariano Scazzariello (presenter) from KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Tommaso Caiazzi from Roma Tre University, and Marco Chiesa, KTH Royal Institute of Technology. Overview: Traditional wisdom suggests maintaining minimal occupancy in the port queues of network devices to prevent packet delays or drops en route to their destination. In this paper, however, we explore the unconventional idea of deliberately congesting the queues of a network device to enhance the performance of a Network Function (NF) deployment. The key intuition behind this approach is to utilize the existing memory available in the switch queues to store packet payloads while their headers are processed on an external NF processor. We present two techniques for congesting a port on a switch: i) self-clocking packet recirculation, which recirculates packets within the switch to automatically achieve the correct queuing delay, and ii) a proportional controller using multicast forwarding, which adjusts the rate of packet forwarding based on the level of congestion. We evaluate our approaches both in simulations and a prototype.

How to Make the NSTC a Moonshot Success Great article Arrian Ebrahimi 刘天文 and Jordan Schneider! "The NSTC should not be relegated to the role of a low-risk R&D subsidy, aligned with existing industry agendas. Rather, the consortium should independently tackle hard-to-solve, long-term challenges that no existing entities have the incentive to pursue." https://lnkd.in/exEXUu8E #semiconductors

Investments in #HPC in the EU is praised in Draghi's report "The future of European competitiveness – A competitiveness strategy for Europe" Public spending on research and innovation (R&I) in Europe is insufficient in scale and lacks a focus on breakthrough innovations. Unlike the U.S., where most R&I funding is managed federally, only a small portion of EU R&I spending is centralized at EU level. Horizon Europe, the EU's main R&I program, has a large budget but is spread too thinly across many fields and is hindered by bureaucratic complexity. EIC Pathfinder for disruptive technologies is underfunded compared to U.S. agencies like DARPA. Top scientists should play a bigger role in EU projects and most Member States struggle to achieve the necessary scale for leading research, highlighting the importance of coordination seen in successful initiatives like CERN and EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU).

🚀🌍 We are thrilled to share that the FNA team recently moderated and participated in an insightful panel discussion with experts from the telecommunications and cleantech industries within the Academia Stands for Green Deal conference. This discussion focused on the critical importance of digital skills for a sustainable future.   At Future Networks Academy, our mission is to empower individuals through education on 5G and 6G technologies. The discussion highlighted how essential digital skills are for driving innovation and sustainability.   The global goal of the Twin Transition is not only green but also digital, so it's crucial to integrate these digital advancements to achieve a truly sustainable and resilient future.   🎥 Watch the full discussion here: https://lnkd.in/eZU9T9Yp #FNA #5G #DigitalTransition
