Lattice Semiconductor to Highlight Open Management and Control for AI Infrastructure at 2026 OCP Global Summit
HILLSBORO, Ore. — Lattice Semiconductor (NASDAQ: LSCC), a leader in low-power programmable devices and platform firmware, announced that it will deliver a keynote presentation at the 2026 OCP Global Summit, highlighting the growing importance of open and standardized approaches to managing and controlling next-generation AI and computing infrastructure.
Ford Tamer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Lattice Semiconductor, will join Sanjoy Maity, Senior Vice President and leader of the AMI Business Unit at Lattice Semiconductor, for the keynote presentation. The executives will discuss the increasing complexity of AI data center infrastructure and the need for a common management and control model that can support diverse computing platforms, hardware architectures, and software environments.
The keynote is scheduled for Tuesday, October 13, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time at the San Jose Convention Center (SJCC), South Hall, in San Jose, California.
As AI workloads continue to expand, data center operators are deploying increasingly sophisticated combinations of processors, accelerators, networking equipment, storage systems, power infrastructure, and other specialized technologies. Managing these systems efficiently requires secure and reliable mechanisms for monitoring, configuration, control, firmware management, and system-level coordination.
Lattice believes that open technologies and collaborative industry standards can play an important role in addressing these challenges. During the keynote, Tamer and Maity are expected to explore how the Open Compute Project (OCP) community can help develop and advance common approaches to infrastructure management by building on technologies that are already available.
Addressing the Complexity of AI and Compute Infrastructure
The rapid growth of artificial intelligence is reshaping the architecture of modern data centers. AI training and inference systems increasingly rely on large-scale clusters that combine high-performance computing components with complex networking, power, cooling, storage, and management systems.
As these environments become more complicated, infrastructure operators need tools that provide greater visibility and control across the entire computing environment. A consistent management framework can help simplify deployment, improve operational efficiency, strengthen security, and reduce the complexity associated with managing hardware from multiple vendors.
Lattice’s technology portfolio is designed to address these infrastructure requirements. The company provides programmable semiconductor solutions and platform firmware intended to enable secure management and control from the edge to the cloud.
Through the integration of AMI’s platform firmware and infrastructure management capabilities, Lattice has expanded its offerings for cloud and AI data center applications. The combined portfolio is intended to provide customers with tools for managing and controlling increasingly complex computing infrastructure while maintaining flexibility across different hardware platforms.
At the OCP Global Summit, Lattice plans to discuss how open technologies can help create a more consistent approach to infrastructure management. The company believes collaboration across the industry will be essential as data center architectures continue to evolve.
Lattice and the Open Compute Project Community
The OCP Global Summit is a major gathering for organizations and individuals involved in the development of open IT infrastructure. The event brings together technology companies, system designers, researchers, engineers, and other members of the global open computing community.
The summit provides a platform for participants to exchange ideas, demonstrate emerging technologies, develop partnerships, and explore new approaches to hardware and software design.
The 2026 event is expected to feature discussions covering a broad range of developments in open computing. Industry leaders and technical experts will participate in presentations, workshops, engineering sessions, and collaborative discussions focused on the future of IT infrastructure.
For Lattice, participation in the summit represents an opportunity to contribute to the ongoing conversation around infrastructure management and the requirements of AI-focused data centers.
The company’s keynote will focus particularly on the potential for a common management and control model. Such an approach could help organizations address the growing number of components and technologies deployed throughout modern data centers.
Expanding Lattice’s Role in AI Data Centers
Lattice has traditionally been recognized for its low-power programmable semiconductor technology. The company serves markets spanning computing, communications, industrial applications, and embedded systems.
The addition of AMI’s platform firmware and infrastructure manageability capabilities has broadened Lattice’s position in the data center market. The company now aims to provide a more comprehensive platform for secure management and control of cloud and AI infrastructure.
AI data centers require continuous monitoring and management to ensure that systems operate efficiently and reliably. Hardware and firmware must work together to support functions such as system initialization, monitoring, configuration, security, and lifecycle management.
By combining programmable hardware with platform firmware, Lattice is seeking to help customers address these requirements through an integrated approach.
The company also emphasizes the importance of silicon-neutral management solutions. As data centers incorporate processors and accelerators from different vendors, infrastructure operators increasingly need management technologies capable of operating across heterogeneous environments.
Lattice’s expanded portfolio is designed to help customers manage this diversity while supporting secure and flexible infrastructure architectures.
Focus on Open and Collaborative Technologies
A central theme of the keynote will be the role of open technologies in addressing infrastructure challenges.
Rather than relying exclusively on proprietary approaches, the OCP community promotes collaboration and the development of open hardware and software technologies. Lattice believes these principles can also help improve the management and control of AI infrastructure.
A common management model could provide greater consistency across systems while helping reduce integration complexity. It could also enable organizations to adopt new technologies more easily as AI computing platforms evolve.
Collaboration among semiconductor companies, system manufacturers, cloud providers, software developers, and infrastructure operators will be important in developing practical solutions that address real-world requirements.
The OCP Global Summit provides an environment for these groups to share their experiences and work toward common technical objectives.
