We are moving to an era where being First to Market is key. However, there are multiple problems with respect to hardware availability with: 1. Reduced proto hardware 2. Reduced & tight schedules 3. High proto HW cost These constraints create bottlenecks in design, development, and validation cycles, potentially compromising product quality and market positioning. This presentation introduces an innovative approach leveraging artificial intelligence and open industry standards to create sophisticated Digital Twins of hardware infrastructure. By utilizing SNIA Swordfish and DMTF Redfish specifications, organizations can simulate complex datacenter environments without physical hardware dependencies. The solution employs Large Language Models (LLMs) to dynamically generate device configurations and responses that strictly adhere to industry standards, enabling authentic hardware behavior simulation. The framework combines open-source specifications, data models, and JSON schemas from standards bodies with AI capabilities to create a flexible, scalable simulation environment.
Through intelligent prompt engineering and real-time validation against Redfish/Swordfish specifications, the system generates standardized data representations that mirror actual hardware responses. This approach enables teams to prototype, test, and validate solutions against virtually unlimited hardware configurations, including edge cases and disruptive scenarios that would be costly or impossible to replicate physically. Attendees will learn how to implement AI-driven Digital Twins using industry standards, understand the technical architecture for standards-compliant simulation, and explore practical applications for accelerating product development. The presentation demonstrates how this approach reduces costs, eliminates hardware dependencies, and enables true "design anywhere, test everywhere" capabilities while maintaining full compliance with SNIA/DMTF standards.

![Nanopore sequencing of synthetic libraries of RNA oligonucleotides
Photolithography is one of the very approaches that allow for the synthesis of nucleic acid microarrays in situ, and characteristic aspects of in situ microarray synthesis are high-throughput and high-density, delivering several hundreds of thousands of unique sequences in a single run and on a single, small surface (Figure 1). Microarray synthesis has traditionally focused on the preparation of DNA microarrays to obtain complex DNA libraries. These have been used in the context of DNA data storage, gene synthesis and other nanotechnology applications [1]. Recently, our group has shown that photolithography is amenable to prepare RNA microarrays as well, at identical throughput and density [2]. It remains the only available chemical approach that can deliver complex synthetic RNA libraries with total control on the sequence. RNA microarrays can be used to interrogate the sequence preference of enzymes and RNA-binding proteins, but they are also ideally poised to generate RNA libraries for off-array applications. We can produce pools of RNA sequences between 75 and 100-nt in length which can be sequenced directly by Nanopore sequencing without any intermediate purification step [3]. Our photolithography platform also allows for the introduction of biologically relevant base modifications, of which m6A, 5mC and inosine are already available and preliminary data shows that m6A can be accurately basecalled. Simultaneously, nanopore sequencing data returns crucial information on the synthetic error-rate of RNA photolithography. This talk will focus on presenting the technology of RNA photolithography and on describing how RNA libraries can be prepared and sequenced.
