Revterra’s Kinetic Stabilizer is engineered to handle the massive and volatile power swings demanded by large-scale AI workloads. AI is bottlenecked by infrastructure and requires a rapidly scalable, high-performance power quality solution that can be deployed without fear of supply chain disruption. Our battery-free technology provides a stable bridge between the grid and AI loads with a physically instantaneous, passive response—no power electronics required. Unlike conventional solutions, the Kinetic Stabilizer offers unmatched cost-effectiveness on a per-kW basis and a functionally infinite cycle life, free from the constraints of chemical storage.

Flexnode’s approach delivers a strategic advantage over traditional data center construction by transferring complexity off the job site and into a controlled manufacturing environment. Our modules are engineered for speed, scalability, and geographic flexibility—purpose built to support the rapidly evolving demands of AI and high-performance compute workloads. By industrializing the data center, we ensure repeatable, high-quality outcomes that can be rapidly deployed with minimal on-site work.
Tony Hall
CTO
Tony Hall is the Chief Technology Officer, responsible for the detailed design, fabrication and delivery of our products. Tony has 15 years of experience in the design and construction industry, ranging from design consulting to project planning and management. On the design side, Tony focused on electrical engineering in New York City. Among a variety of project types, mission critical and sophisticated standby power systems were a focus, including projects for Digital Realty, Google, zColo, Telehouse. Since graduate school, Tony broadened his expertise, managing large scale electric utility projects for Exponent and most recently with Clark Construction Group as a Systems Executive in preconstruction, responsible for all mechanical, electrical, plumbing, low voltage and fire protection systems (MEP/LV/FP) in project deliveries ranging from traditional design-bid-build to public private partnerships. Tony brings a depth of understanding across all engineering disciplines and delivery methods, and provides the executive direction for Flexnode’s data centers.

Please visit our website for more information.Semiconductor development faces increasing complexity, faster timelines, and fierce competition, exposing the limitations of traditional EDA tools. In response, AI Agents, powered by LLMs and advanced algorithms, are emerging as next-gen solutions. This session explores how these agents surpass conventional automation by independently managing tasks like hardware modeling, constraint solving, debugging, testbench creation, and design optimization. We'll cover real-world use cases showing how AI Agents deliver improved productivity, design quality, and time-to-market, including their ability to autonomously detect bugs and optimize RTL designs.

Arm Neoverse is designed to meet these evolving needs, offering high compute density, exceptional energy efficiency, and a strong total cost of ownership (TCO). As host processors, Neoverse-based CPUs integrate seamlessly with GPUs and AI accelerators to enable flexible, power-efficient, and high-performance deployments across heterogeneous AI platforms capable of managing the complexity and coordination required by agentic AI systems.
In this session, we’ll demo an agentic AI application running on an AI server powered by Arm Neoverse as the host node. The application coordinates multiple agents to accelerate decision-making and streamline workload execution. We’ll also highlight the advantages of running agentic AI on heterogeneous infrastructure, explain why Arm CPUs are ideal as host processors, and demonstrate how Arm provides a scalable, efficient foundation for real-world enterprise and cloud environments.
