讲座内容：
Reconfigurable architectures
play an important role in embedded systems thanks to their hardware-accelerated
performance and post-fabrication reconfiguration flexibility. Reconfigurable
architectures, such as FPGAs, have been widely used in wired and wireless
communications, video processing, avionics, medical equipment, etc. Traditional
reconfigurable architectures face the challenges of low area efficiency and
high reconfiguration delay, and greatly limit the potentials of hardware-based
reconfiguration. For example, studies show that on average traditional FPGAs
require 21X larger silicon area, 10X higher power consumption and 3X longer
delay compared to ASICs. Recent progress on nanotechnologies, such as
nanomemories, bring new opportunities to address the challenges and
significantly reduce the gap between FPGA and ASIC. This talk will introduce
some advanced reconfigurable architectures based on CMOS and nanomemories. The
new designs can significantly improve the integration density, power
consumption, and support fast run-time reconfiguration.

讲座题目：Opportunities and Challenges in Inter/Intra-Chip
Optical Networks
主讲人：须江（美国普林斯顿大学博士，香港科技大学电子与计算机工程系副教授）
主持人：刘韦辰（重庆大学计算机学院研究员，博士生导师）
讲座时间：2014年1月10日（星期五）上午11:00–12:00

Chongqing University
讲座内容：
The
performance and energy efficiency of a multi-core system is determined by not
only its processor cores but also how efficiently they collaborate with each
other. As new applications continuously require more communication bandwidth,
metallic interconnects gradually become the bottlenecks of multi-core systems
due to their high power consumption, limited bandwidth, and signal integrity
issues. Optical interconnects are promising candidates to bring low power, high
bandwidth, and low latency to address inter-chip as well as intra-chip
communication challenges. Silicon-based photonic devices, such as optical
waveguides and microresonators, have been demonstrated in CMOS-compatible
fabrication processes and can be used to build inter/intra-chip optical
networks. This talk will discuss the opportunities and challenges of this emerging
technology based on our recent findings.
