The Gigascale Systems Research Center
We invite BEARS visitors to attend the Gigascale
Systems Research Center (GSRC) Open House on Friday, February 27, 2:00 pm
- 4:30 PM in the Donald
O. Pederson Center for Electronic Systems Design (DOP Center), which is
located on the 5th floor of Cory Hall. (See Directions)
We will showcase our research, including Metropolis
and MESCAL, with posters and
presentations.
OVERVIEW
For
the foreseeable future, the silicon integrated circuit (IC) industry will continue
to invest heavily in manufacturing capability as it attempts to sustain the
historical productivity growth of the microelectronics industry. However, as
the industry moves to ever-smaller feature sizes, as the maximum number of transistors/chip
continues to grow, and under the relentless pressure of time-to-market for high-quality,
reliable products.
The Gigascale Systems Research Center focuses on the pertinent problems that
the semiconductor industry will most likely face in the next decade in the area
of system design, integration, test, and verification. Orders of magnitude of
improvement in energy efficiency, cost, reliability, and time to market are
needed to sustain the current growth.
To address the multiple challenges of this focus the GSRC is structured along
seven interlocking research thrusts:
| Two of these thrusts, Heterogeneous Systems Design
and Integration and Soft Systems representing a vision
of how integrated systems of the future are to be realized will be highlighted
in the open house. |

Directions to Cory Hall
Once you get to Oxford Street from University:
1. Take a left (North) onto Oxford.
2. Take a second stoplight right (East) onto Hearst.
3. Follow Hearst along the north side of campus past the stoplight at Euclid
Avenue.
Cory Hall
is located on the corner of Hearst and Gayley, at the northeast corner of campus.
If you enter Cory Hall at one of the Hearst entrances, you will be on the second
