Towards Future High-Performance Nanoscale Integrated Systems
The recent advancements in process technology have enabled the idea
of a system on a chip to become a reality, allowing designers to pack
hundreds of million devices on a single chip while continuously
demanding for higher performance. Another aspect of the integration is
that integrated systems are increasingly containing analog and RF
circuits. In this talk, I will provide an overview of our research
efforts in several of key challenges facing the realization of high
performance and low power SOCs, such variability-aware, thermally-aware
and low-power design methodologies and analog/RF design automation. I
will also talk about potential long-term solutions in Nanotechnology.
Building interconnects that utilize carbon nanotube or nanophotonics
technologies would provide an excellent alternative for global
interconnects and would alleviate the problems associated with current
interconnect. By exploiting advances in Nanotechnology, engineers
will be better equipped to deliver future high-performance integrated
systems. Thursday, September 13, 2007 2007 ECE Affiliates Conference |
