However, traditional on-chip metallic interconnects may not scale to support these many-core architectures due to the increased hop count, high power dissipation, and increased latency. Recently, attention has recently been shifted to emerging technologies such as optical and wireless interconnects for future on-chip communications. Although emerging technologies show promising results for power-efficient, low-latency, and scalable on-chip interconnects, the use of single technology may not be sufficient to support future many-core architectures. In this paper, we propose a Reconfigurable Optical-Wireless Network-on-Chip (R-OWN) that facilitates communication through static optical links and reconfigurable wireless links. The network diameter of R-OWN is restricted to three hops by dividing the network into several optical domains of 64-cores (called a cluster) and by connecting the clusters using one-hop wireless network. The optical bandwidth is efficiently shared using time division multiplexing (TDM), and the wireless bandwidth is shared using frequency division multiplexing (FDM). Packets routed across optical and wireless networks are proved to be deadlock-free. Our results indicate that R-OWN improves energy-efficiency by 44-51%, performance (throughput and latency) by 13-31%, and area by 4-13% when compared to state-of-the-art wired, wireless, optical, and hybrid on-chip networks.","PeriodicalId":281609,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd ACM International Conference on Nanoscale Computing and Communication","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124007522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper proposes an energy-efficient and low-crosstalk sub-THz (0.1T-1T) I/O using surface-plasmonic based interconnects and oscillator in CMOS. By introducing sub-wavelength periodic corrugation structure onto transmission line with gradient groove, the surface-plasmonic is established to propagate signal that is strongly localized on surface of top-layer metal wire. A mode conversion from guided wave to surface wave is carefully designed considering low loss and efficient impedance/momentum matching at mm-wave to THz frequencies. As such, significant power saving and cross-talk reduction can be observed with high communication bandwidth. In addition, a low phase noise surface-plasmonic oscillator with high-Q resonator is also proposed. The phase noise is -116dBc/Hz at 10MHz offset under 0.7V power supply by consuming only 3.5mW power. As designed in 65nm CMOS, the results have shown that the proposed surface-plasmonic I/O interface achieves 25Gbps data rate and 0.01pJ/bit/mm energy efficiency at 140GHz carrier frequency over 20mm dual surface-plasmonic channels.","PeriodicalId":281609,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd ACM International Conference on Nanoscale Computing and Communication","volume":"315 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114049096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For example, the blood circulation system is often used to transport and deliver drugs throughout the body; due to the randomness involved in molecular diffusion, this approach may cause inefficient delivery of drugs. To deal with this problem, we propose an autonomous and adaptive bacteria-based drug delivery system that integrates bacterial chemotaxis and quorum sensing to deliver drugs efficiently and precisely. More specifically, we design a synthetic AND gate that enables bacteria to detect the molecules produced by a particular type of tumor and release the appropriate drugs in a coordinated manner; the system can also dynamically adjust the amount of drugs released based on tumor size and activity. We envision that such a system can be used for cell-based therapeutics while preventing drug overuse and multidrug resistance.","PeriodicalId":281609,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd ACM International Conference on Nanoscale Computing and Communication","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124867523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Existing graphene antennas are based on pure plasmonic structures, which are compact but show moderate to high losses. To achieve higher efficiency with low cost, one can apply the theory behind dielectric resonator antennas widely used in millimeter-wave systems. This paper presents the concept of hybridization of surface plasmon and dielectric wave modes. Radiation efficiency, reconfigurability, and miniaturization of antennas built upon this principle are qualitatively discussed and compared with those of pure plasmonic antennas. To this end, a quantitative study of pure and hybrid plasmonic one-dimensional guided-wave structures is performed. The results show that hybrid structures can be employed to design terahertz antennas with high radiation efficiency and gain, moderate miniaturization, and tunability, while terahertz antennas based on pure plasmonic structures can provide high miniaturization and tunability yet with low radiation efficiency and gain.","PeriodicalId":281609,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd ACM International Conference on Nanoscale Computing and Communication","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122887855","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
