    Fenwick Employment Brief December 10, 2008 Victor Schachter Editor 650.335.7905 Mary Wang Contributor 650.335.7154 planning a workforce reduction: a brief checklist In current economic times, more and more companies are turning to “reductions in force” or “RIFs.” While RIFs can provide both short and long-term economic benefits, they are also among the most difficult events an attorney or human resources professional must oversee because of the emotional and economic impact they will have on employees, the myriad of complex laws that must be observed, and the enormous amount of work that is usually required in a very short amount of time. Thoughtful and careful planning is important not only to ensure compliance with legal requirements, but also help to minimize the adverse effects of a workforce reduction, further reducing the risk of lawsuits. The following checklist provides some practical guidance to assist employers in implementing a reduction in force and to minimize legal risks. This checklist does not address all the possible issues arising from a RIF and we encourage you to consult with counsel as part of your planning and implementation of a RIF. planning and construction of a layoff n Identify triggering events for layoff n Identify possible layoff alternatives (e.g., pay cuts, schedule reductions, temporary shutdowns and vacation/PTO drawdown, reduction of contractor headcount) n Identify affected sites and estimate number of affected employees for WARN and other analyses n Establish the RIF management team: Identify the individuals

  • Dear Shareholders
    MARCH 2020 DEAR SHAREHOLDERS: Five years ago, AMD set out on a journey. We established a clear focus on becoming a high-performance computing leader and defined an ambitious technology roadmap grounded in a series of key investments. As a company, we committed to strong execution and engaged deeply with our customers and partners, including industry leaders like Amazon, Apple, Google, HPE, Lenovo, Microsoft and Sony. 2019 was a major milestone in that journey. We introduced and successfully ramped the strongest product portfolio in our history spanning desktops, laptops, gaming and the data center, including the launches of the world’s first 7nm x86 CPUs and PC GPUs. On the strength of this portfolio and strong execution, we delivered record annual revenue of $6.73 billion, strong gross margin expansion and significant profitability growth. For the second year in a row, AMD was the best performing stock in the S&P 500. Strong customer demand for our 7nm Ryzen™ and EPYC™ processors powered by our next generation “Zen 2” processor core drove $1.5 billion in client and server processor annual revenue growth in 2019.

  • Entrepreneurship and Business Leadership
    SPONSOREDEntrepreneurship BY and Business Leadership Thematic Report on Chinese American Contributions: Entrepreneurship and Business Leadership 1 WRITTEN BY Entrepreneurship and Business Leadership Entrepreneurship and Business Leadership Enterprises are the lifeblood of the American economy. They fund 84% of all investments and account for roughly 85% of non-farm employment.1,2 Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), in particular, are primary drivers of US innovation and competitiveness. Firms with fewer than 500 employees account for 99.9% of US businesses and employ nearly half (47%) of the private non- farm workforce.3 Chinese Americans have played an integral part in entrepreneurship and business in the US ever since the first Chinese immigrants arrived during the Gold Rush. Historically, despite various barriers, including formal and informal racial discrimination, Chinese Americans have played an important role in shaping the American economic, social and cultural fabric through diverse forms— ranging from owning and operating mom-and-pop shops to founding high-tech startups and serving as executives of publicly-listed companies. 2 Overview Americans take great pride in their entrepreneurial spirit, which is deeply rooted in the country’s history and essential to corporate success and economic and societal prosperity. Chinese Americans have shared and contributed to this central tenet of American social identity both by establishing small businesses that provide essential services and generate a vast number of jobs and by working

  • Innovative AMD Handheld Technology – the Ultimate Visual Experience™ Anywhere –
    MEDIA BACKGROUNDER Innovative AMD Handheld Technology – The Ultimate Visual Experience™ Anywhere – AMD Vision AMD has a vision of a new era of mobile entertainment, bringing all the capabilities of a camera, camcorder, music player and 3D gaming console to mobile phones, smart phones and tomorrow’s converged portable devices. This vision is quickly becoming reality. Mass adoption of image and video sharing sites like YouTube, as well as the growing popularity of camera phones and personalized media services, are several trends that demonstrate ever-increasing consumer demand for “always connected” multimedia. And consumers have demonstrated a willingness to pay for sophisticated devices and services that deliver immersive, media-rich experiences. This increasing appetite for mobile multimedia makes it more important than ever for device manufacturers to quickly deliver the latest multimedia features – without significantly increasing design and manufacturing costs. AMD in Mobile Multimedia With the acquisition of ATI Technologies in 2006, AMD expanded beyond its traditional realm of PC computing to become a powerhouse in multimedia processing technologies. Building on more than 20 years of graphics and multimedia expertise, AMD is a leading supplier of media processors to the handheld market with nearly 250 million AMD Imageon™ media processors shipped to date. Furthermore, AMD is a significant source of mobile intellectual property (IP), licensing graphics technology to semiconductor suppliers. AMD provides customers with a top-to-bottom family of cutting-edge audio, video, imaging, graphics and mobile TV products. The scalable AMD technology platforms are based on open industry standards, and are designed for maximum performance with low power consumption.

    Lewis University Dr. James Girard Summer Undergraduate Research Program 2021 Faculty Mentor - Project Application Exploring the Use of High-level Parallel Abstractions and Parallel Computing for Functional and Gate-Level Simulation Acceleration Dr. Lucien Ngalamou Department of Engineering, Computing and Mathematical Sciences Abstract System-on-Chip (SoC) complexity growth has multiplied non-stop, and time-to- market pressure has driven demand for innovation in simulation performance. Logic simulation is the primary method to verify the correctness of such systems. Logic simulation is used heavily to verify the functional correctness of a design for a broad range of abstraction levels. In mainstream industry verification methodologies, typical setups coordinate the validation e↵ort of a complex digital system by distributing logic simulation tasks among vast server farms for months at a time. Yet, the performance of logic simulation is not sufficient to satisfy the demand, leading to incomplete validation processes, escaped functional bugs, and continuous pressure on the EDA1 industry to develop faster simulation solutions. In this research, we will explore a solution that uses high-level parallel abstractions and parallel computing to boost the performance of logic simulation. 1Electronic Design Automation 1 1 Project Description 1.1 Introduction and Background SoC complexity is increasing rapidly, driven by demands in the mobile market, and in- creasingly by the fast-growth of assisted- and autonomous-driving applications. SoC teams utilize many verification technologies to address their complexity and time-to-market chal- lenges; however, logic simulation continues to be the foundation for all verification flows, and continues to account for more than 90% [10] of all verification workloads.
