Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology have announced a breakthrough in increasing processing power. “Their innovative design involves sending liquid coolant—in the form of de-ionized water—through microfluidic passages within a few hundred microns of the transistors, allowing chips to operate at temperatures more than 60 percent lower than air-cooled chips,” … [Read more...]
New Technique in Photonic ICs and Optical Computing
A new technique could be a big step toward photonic ICs and optical computing, according to researchers at ITMO University in St. Petersburg, Russia. The technique uses a single silicon nanoparticle as an optical transistor. “In research published in the journal Nano Letters, the Russian scientists turned away from using nanoparticles to control the absorption of light and … [Read more...]
Interactive 3D Thermal Heatsink Modeling Simulation Software
Yesterday, during the 2015 IEEE ECCE conference and exposition in Montréal, Canada, Mersen presented the R-Tools GEN III. Mersen will show the redesigned interactive 3D Thermal Heatsink Modeling simulation software today, Sept. 22, as well. “R-Tools Gen III is a free on-line simulation software that allows users to model the optimum air cooled heatsink solution tailored to … [Read more...]

University Produces Smart Compliers to Assist Research During ‘Dark Silicon’ Era
Researchers from Lancaster University believe a ‘dark silicon’ era is rapidly approaching. This era suggests more than 80 percent of computer processors’ transistors will be turned off and ‘remain dark’ in order to prevent the chips from overheating. “Hardware design is rapidly evolving to prevent this need to 'power down' transistors and coming up with innovative solutions. … [Read more...]
