Joshi leads the Microelectronics and Emerging Technologies Thermal Lab in the Woodruff School.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThermal management has always been a major challenge in high-performance processors. Today, even mobile and embedded systems on chip (SoCs) are becoming thermally limited as consumers need more and more performance from these devices, but they are limited by stringent constraints on volume, footprint, user experience, and cost.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe team aims to address the thermal challenges in mobile SoCs, and they have experimentally demonstrated in-package microfluidic cooling on a commercial SoC. To develop this technique, the team fabricated an interposer with micro pinfin-based fluidic cooling and successfully attached it to a commercial SoC. A piezoelectric pump, controlled by the SoC, was integrated in the system to demonstrate closed-loop control. Experiments using benchmark applications showed in-package fluidic cooling improves the SoC\u2019s energy efficiency and reduces the design footprint compared to external passive cooling solutions.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe contribution of the work is a simple, yet effective approach to integrated chip-scale microfluidic cooling in a commercial-off-the-shelf device, and its experimental demonstration using a commercial SoC, namely Snapdragon boards donated by Qualcomm, to support power and thermal management research at Georgia Tech.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EAn interdisciplinary research team from Georgia Tech, representing the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and the George W.
