Each robot works on a task. Through sensors and communication, it is attuned only to what\u2019s happening in its immediate environment; it receives no instruction from a single central decision maker.

In technology, control is often achieved through computation and actuation, as in automotive controls or controlling a spacecraft. More formally, control makes use of algorithms and feedback in engineered systems, and is a means of ensuring robustness in an uncertain environment. Dynamical systems refers to the way systems change over time, such as the movement of your car, the dynamics of walking, or the dynamics of a molecule or of the solar system.

However, existing liquid cooling technology removes heat using cold plates externally attached to fully packaged silicon chips \u2013 adding thermal resistance and reducing the heat-rejection efficiency.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETo make their liquid cooling system, Bakir and graduate student Thomas Sarvey removed the heat sink and heat-spreading materials from the backs of stock Altera FPGA chips. They then etched cooling passages into the silicon, incorporating silicon cylinders approximately 100 microns in diameter to improve heat transmission into the liquid. A silicon layer was then placed over the flow passages, and ports were attached for the connection of water tubes.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn multiple tests \u2013 including a demonstration for DARPA officials in Arlington, Virginia \u2013 a liquid-cooled FPGA was operated using a custom processor architecture provided by Altera. With a water inlet temperature of approximately 20 degrees Celsius and an inlet flow rate of 147 milliliters per minute, the liquid-cooled FPGA operated at a temperature of less than 24 degrees Celsius, compared to an air-cooled device that operated at 60 degrees Celsius.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESudhakar Yalamanchili, a professor in the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering and one of the research group\u2019s collaborators, joined the team for the DARPA demonstration to discuss electrical-thermal co-design.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cWe have created a real electronic platform to evaluate the benefits of liquid cooling versus air cooling,\u201d said Bakir. \u201cThis may open the door to stacking multiple chips, potentially multiple FPGA chips or FPGA chips with other chips that are high in power consumption. We are seeing a significant reduction in the temperature of these liquid-cooled chips.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe research team chose FPGAs for their test because they provide a platform to test different circuit designs, and because FPGAs are common in many market segments, including defense. However, the same technology could also be used to cool CPUs, GPUs and other devices such as power amplifiers, Bakir said.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn addition to improving overall cooling, the system could reduce hotspots in circuits by applying cooling much closer to the power source. Eliminating the heat sink could allow more compact packaging of electronic devices \u2013 but only if electrical connection issues are also addressed.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn a separate research project, Bakir\u2019s group has demonstrated the fabrication of copper vias that would run through the silicon columns that are part of the cooling structure fabricated on the FPGAs. Graduate student Hanju Oh, co-advised with College of Engineering Dean Gary May, fabricated high aspect ratio copper vias through the silicon columns, reducing the capacitance of the connections that would carry signals between chips in an array.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cThe moment you start thinking about stacking the chips, you need to have copper vias to connect them,\u201d Bakir said. \u201cBy bringing system components closer together, we can reduce interconnect length and that will lead to improvements in bandwidth density and reductions in energy use.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe cooling research was funded by DARPA\u2019s Microsystems Technology Office, through the ICECOOL program. At Georgia Tech, DARPA funds two major cooling and system integration projects, one called STAECool directed by George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering Professor Yogendra Joshi, and the other, called SuperCool, that is directed by Bakir. In collaboration with the STAECool effort, Bakir and Joshi, along with Professors Andrei Fedorov and Suresh Sitaraman from the School of Mechanical Engineering, developed a thermal design vehicle to emulate challenging power maps to test the benefits of microfluidic cooling.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cWe have reached an important milestone that we hope to use as a stepping stone to reach other objectives,\u201d said Bakir. \u201cThere is still a big challenge ahead, but we expect this to allow much denser, higher-performance computing systems that will dissipate less power.

Applications of this research span all disciplines in science and engineering with particular emphasis on biomedicine, electronics, optoelectronics and photonics, and energy applications. As there can be a learning curve associated with initial proof-of-concept development and testing using cleanroom tools, this seed grant program was developed to expedite the initiation of new graduate students and new research projects into productive activity. Successful proposals to this program will identify a new, currently-unfunded research idea that requires cleanroom access to generate preliminary data necessary to pursue other funding avenues.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EProgram Eligibility:\u003C\/strong\u003E This program is open to any current Georgia Tech or GTRI faculty member as project PI. The graduate student performing the research should be in the first 2 years of his\/her graduate studies. Preference will be given to students who are new users of the IEN facilities. The student\u2019s research advisor (project PI) does not need to be a current user of the IEN cleanroom\/lab facilities. Past awardees of a seed grant may submit additional proposals for different students\/projects, but not in consecutive funding cycles.\u003Cbr \/\u003EIt is the responsibility of the project PI and student to determine their ability to make use of the awarded time during the grant period.

This maximum award amount is still in effect even if IEN non-cleanroom (lab) equipment or electron beam lithography (EBL) is required. The designated student user is expected to only utilize the cleanroom\/tool access while working with the PI on the proposed project. Members of the IEN Advanced Technology Team (ATT) will be available to consult during the project period. The number of awards for each proposal submission date will depend on the number and quality of the proposals, but typically 3-5 awards will be made. A short report describing the research activities is required midway and at the completion of the award period.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESubmission Schedule:\u003C\/strong\u003E This Seed Grant program is offered in two competitions each year with due dates on October 1 and April 1.

Now the region is an amazing metropolis and the technology business center of China. I was told that at one point they were building one high rise building per day! I cannot vouch for that statement, but it is believable. Shenzhen is in the mainland, just a short drive from Hong Kong, across extraordinary roads and bridges that were not there before this recent transformation.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETwo years ago, Georgia Tech became the first American institution to become a member of Shenzhen Virtual University Park.\u0026nbsp; Similar to the Georgia Tech\/Tech Square model back home in Atlanta, the Shenzhen Virtual University Park emphasizes university-industry partnerships. A single facility houses educational institutions, startups, and established companies.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWe moved to Shenzhen after years of offering masters degrees in Shanghai. That program was very successful; its \u201cCoulter Fellows\u201d graduates are already doing amazing things in industry and academia. With the Coulter Foundation support, we were able to educate many who could not otherwise afford quality education. Moving to Shenzhen involved risks but continues to offer enormous opportunities. We began by offering a Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering.\u0026nbsp; We are proud that the program was the first Chinese Ministry of Education-approved program in Shenzhen offered by a U.S. university.\u0026nbsp; Current students in that program hail from mainland China, the U.S., Taiwan, France, India, and Indonesia.
