Barcelona—The Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, typically a showcase for the latest smartphones and connectivity, played host this year to the seismic shifts reshaping the semiconductor industry, including Arm’s rise in AI and high-performance computing (HPC).

EE Times sat down with Mohamed Awad, SVP/GM of Infrastructure Business at Arm, the chip architecture powerhouse, and, in another interview, with Teresa Cervero, a leading research engineer at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC). 

Set against a backdrop of rapid advancements in artificial intelligence and persistent global uncertainties, the conversations offered a compelling glimpse into Arm’s burgeoning role in AI, data center, and HPC. Awad also commented on the prospect of the company designing its own chips and the delicate balancing act it performs in the face of geopolitical complexities.

Meanwhile, Cervero highlighted the growing adoption of open source architecture for silicon design as an alternative to closed design systems.
