Trends in Emerging On-Chip Interconnect Technologies

In deep submicron (DSM) VLSI technologies, it is becoming increasingly harder for a copper based electrical interconnect fabric to satisfy the multiple design requirements of delay, power, bandwidth, and delay uncertainty. This is because electrical interconnects are becoming increasingly susceptible to parasitic resistance and capacitance with shrinking process technology and rising clock freq...

Trends in semiconductor laser design:

The trade-off between the effect of leakage suppression and the increase of related optical loss due to placement of the p-doping in 1.3-1.55μm InGaAsP MQW edgeemitting lasers is detailed. The effect of the Zn doping profile on laser characteristics is illustrated by experimental results obtained for telecom lasers and high power lasers. The design approach combining broadened waveguides with p...

AulaNet Technologies: Future Trends

 In this paper we present AulaNet, an environment for the creation and maintenance of Web-based courses. It differs from other Web-based instruction environments because it lacks the physical elements of the traditional schools, lying over the trivet communication – coordination – cooperation. We also present some future trends in the development of this learning environment, focusing the crea...

Trends in Storage Technologies

The high random and sequential I/O requirements of contemplated workloads could serve as impetus to move faster towards storage-class memory (SCM), a technology that will blur the distinction between memory and storage. On the other hand, the volume of digital data being produced is increasing at an ever accelerating pace. Recent technology demonstrations indicate that low-cost, low-power tape ...
