Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration IZMCeCaS – Supercomputing platform for fully automated vehicles
In the car of the future, the industry faces the challenge of combining safety and maximum performance of the computer systems installed in the car. The CeCaS (CentralCarServer) research project aims to develop a corresponding supercomputing platform for highly automated vehicles. The aim is to manage complex calculations and the handling of large amounts of data in the car. The project is researching new approaches in microelectronics, computing and software architecture in order to be flexible and efficient. Fraunhofer IZM is contributing its expertise in the packaging of central car server chiplet modules on organic interposers. Our researchers are developing flip-chip assembly concepts and thermal interfaces for sustainable, scalable cooling concepts for this complex central car server. Derived from the research work on packaging, contributions are being made to the digital twin for the reliability assessment of chiplet-based electronic modules. The aim is to create heterogeneous computer structures that are highly efficient and made robust against interference by means of adapted assembly and connection technology and suitable cooling methods.
