This team\u0026#39;s work makes a case for using novel \u0026mu;-LED based optical interconnects as direct replacements for on-chip electrical links, both across cores and within cores in System on Chips, leveraging a monolithically integrated CMOS + III V process called LEES and measured data from InGaP LEDs. The energy consumption of \u0026mu;-LED links remains the same irrespective of distance, magnifying energy savings compared to electrical links as wire lengths increase.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EWorking across the materials, devices, circuits, CAD, and architecture stacks, the team presents a tool flow that hides the complexity of optical devices and associated electrical circuitry behind standard cells, and automatically replaces electrical nets by LED links, subject to area constraints. The team finds that LED-interconnect based designs substantially lower energy consumption compared to electrical copper wires (~39% reduction in the Network-on-Chip, ~27% reduction within a processor core) while achieving the same latency and bandwidth, demonstrating the promise of LED on-chip interconnects as a potentially disruptive technology.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EECE Assistant Professor\u0026nbsp;Tushar Krishna will receive a Best Paper Award at the 2017 Design Automation and Test in Europe Conference (DATE), to be held March 27-31 in Lausanne, Switzerland.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"ECE Assistant Professor\u00a0Tushar Krishna will receive a Best Paper Award at the 2017 Design Automation and Test in Europe Conference (DATE), to be held March 27-31 in Lausanne, Switzerland."}],"uid":"27241","created_gmt":"2017-02-10 21:57:50","changed_gmt":"2017-02-10 21:57:50","author":"Jackie Nemeth","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2017-02-10T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2017-02-10T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"490461":{"id":"490461","type":"image","title":"Tushar Krishna","body":null,"created":"1453827600","gmt_created":"2016-01-26 17:00:00","changed":"1475895245","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:54:05","alt":"Tushar Krishna","file":{"fid":"204433","name":"tushar_krishna.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/tushar_krishna_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/tushar_krishna_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":30703,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/tushar_krishna_0.jpg?itok=qdXz5K4E"}}},"media_ids":["490461"],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/faculty-staff-directory\/tushar-krishna","title":"Tushar Krishna"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu","title":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.gatech.edu","title":"Georgia Tech "},{"url":"https:\/\/www.date-conference.com","title":"Design Automation and Test in Europe Conference"}],"groups":[{"id":"1255","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"173453","name":"Tushar Krishna"},{"id":"109","name":"Georgia Tech"},{"id":"166855","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"id":"173454","name":"Design Automation and Test in Europe Conference"}],"core_research_areas":[{"id":"39431","name":"Data Engineering and Science"},{"id":"39451","name":"Electronics and Nanotechnology"}],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EJackie Nemeth\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESchool of Electrical and Computer Engineering\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E404-894-2906\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
