CHIPS Alliance showcases innovation at OCP Global Summit

The OCP Global Summit, hosted in San Jose, CA on October 15-17, brought together leaders in open hardware, hyperscale infrastructure, silicon, and data center innovation to collaborate on the future of open computing. Around 10,835 attendees were onsite at the event, which featured keynote presentations, technical sessions and interactive demos showcasing advancements in chip design, AI infrastructure, sustainability and open source hardware standards.

CHIPS Alliance had a strong presence at the OCP Global Summit, demonstrating how open source silicon development is advancing innovation across data centers, AI and custom silicon. CHIPS was prominently mentioned in a number of keynote sessions on Tuesday as well as Thursday’s detailed technical sessions as part of the overall Caliptra effort. These sessions helped drive attendance to the CHIPS Alliance booth, which was shared with the OpenPower Foundation, on the exhibition floor. Rob Mains, Executive Director of CHIPS Alliance, chatted with interested attendees about a wide range of topics including interoperability, open standards, and the importance of community-driven silicon innovation.

Microsoft also had a live demo of Caliptra running in emulation mode at its booth, which also drove interest in the silicon security efforts in CHIPS Alliance.

Additionally, another milestone at the event, was the launch of OpenPRoT, a new collaborative firmware project that broadens CHIPS Alliance’s development scope and community impact. Learn more about it and how you can get involved here.
