6/27 Congratulations on the 20th-year Anniversary of the “Entrepreneur Engineering”, Nicky Lu | 加納技術経営研究所

When I received your email, a pleasant feeling just like an old-day China wiseman Confucius said, “it’s such a great pleasure to hear from an old friend from a distance and after so many years”, especially that message from you – Professor Kano.

Herewith I would most sincerely like to send you my congratulations for so many good things that you have mentioned in your email: (1) although It was mentioned that you are 80 years old but I’m glad that you are living so well and energetic to keep your own professional interests and make contributions to beloved human societies; (2) it’s great to know that you published three books on “Entrepreneur Engineering”, which is so valuable especially for both you and me to know, have shared and continue in believing high valuations of entrepreneurship made to the human societies; (3) it’s wonderful to know that this is the 20th-year anniversary of the Entrepreneur Engineering activities at Kochi University of Technology by you and it’s lovely to recall my precious memories of going to KUT to share my Entrepreneur experiences with you and your students; (4) it’s great to know that Carlos and you are so persistent to bring Carlos’s novel technology and Symetrix to realize final product contributions which especially being adopted as an ARM’s IP, as both emerging memory and new security way are one of the hottest subjects in the future AI world! (5) Moreover, it’s a pleasure to hear that you will give a commemorative special lecture on July 7th at KUT, which I believe will be a milestone time and event for KUT’s faculties, students and technical leaders from Japan and worldwide to be further reminded and stimulated by your persistent contributions, experiences and advices in both fields covering advanced technologies and entrepreneur education!
 I have been working on preparing my own messages to celebrate this important event of yours, especially expressing my respect to and friendship with you, especially I would like to witness as such a dedicated Japanese high-tech leader in both industry and academia successes like you. But some difficulty is that my secretary and myself may not still be able to find some appropriate photographs back to those years; is it possible that I just wrote my messages on my thoughts which I would like to express without photographs;

Note by Gota Kano: Thank you so much for such a great message ~ Fortunately, we have been able to find your memorial photos in KUT/Kochi at around 2005. Upon your request, I would be glad to take our liberty to post two your photos as attached among your message.

　Lu氏は以前から、「Heterogeneous Integration（以下、HI）」を提唱してきた。同氏は、「半導体業界は最終的に、微細化に対する強迫観念から脱却しなければならない。微細化にとらわれない成長を後押ししていくためには、異なる技術をヘテロジニアスに統合するという創造力が不可欠である。このHIは、SoC（System on Chip）や、SiP（Systems-in-Package）、MCM（Multi-Chip Module）などのことを意味しているわけではない。HIとは、SoCやDRAM、フラッシュメモリ、A-D変換、D-A変換、パワーマネジメント、セキュリティなど、さまざまな種類のシリコンダイと連携させた、システム設計やアルゴリズム、ソフトウェアなどを含む、全体的に統合されたアプローチのことである」と説明する。
