Intellectual MeritThe proposed research addresses the design issues for nanotechnologies, with a special focus on the architectural level and the integration level. The research tasks include investigation and development of efficient design methodologies, algorithms, and microarchitectures for the emerging nanotechnologies, including both nano-CMOS and technology candidates beyond CMOS. We plan to use nano-FPGA (nano-Field Programmable Gate Assembly) as an architecture/platform driver to explore various issues in nanotechnology designs. The regularity and reconfigurability makes nano-FPGA an ideal candidate to support the reliability and complexity requirements of designs in nanotechnologies. Based on this driver, we will explore novel techniques to achieve highly reliable and error-resilient designs to overcome likely defects and non-deterministic behavior of new nanodevices. The outcome of this research project will be innovative design methodologies, tools, and algorithms that enable efficient and economic design solutions for nanotechnologies as soon as they become available and practical. Broader ImpactThe National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) has identified nanoelectronics, one of the next generation of information technology devices, as one of nine "Grand Challenge" areas because of the potentially significant economic and societal impact of innovations in this area. While most innovations in nanotechnology at this stage are primarily at the level of individual devices, it is at the systems level where the true potential of nanotechnology can be realized. The rather unique focus of this project on design methodologies and systems-level issues, such as design of architectures, robustness, and error-resilience, will help accelerate the development of viable nanoelectronic systems. On the other hand, at this early stage, nanotechnology research requires extensive investment and is truly pre-competitive in nature, which makes it an ideal candidate for international collaboration so that we can leverage the global investment and coordinate research efforts in this area. Therefore, we will explore international collaboration opportunities with researchers and educators from leading universities in Taiwan, and China in this target area. In addition to research collaboration, we will initiate an educational program that will enable U.S. students and young researchers to visit the participating countries for workshops, joint research, student exchanges, etc. It will help them appreciate the culture, technology, and economic development of these regions, thus developing the scientific talents and social interaction skills required of future leaders with international vision and experience.

知识分子优点拟议的研究解决了纳米技术的设计问题，特别关注建筑层面和整合水平。研究任务包括研究和开发新兴纳米技术的有效设计方法，算法和微体系结构，包括纳米-CMOS和CMO以外的技术候选者。 我们计划将纳米FPGA（纳米场可编程门装配）用作建筑/平台驱动程序，以探索纳米技术设计中的各种问题。规律性和可重构性使纳米 - FPGA成为支持纳米技术设计的可靠性和复杂性要求的理想候选者。基于此驱动力，我们将探索新型技术，以实现高度可靠和错误的设计设计，以克服新的纳米电视的可能缺陷和非确定性行为。该研究项目的结果将是创新的设计方法，工具和算法，这些方法和算法可在纳米技术的有效和经济设计解决方案中，一旦它们变得可用且实用。更广泛的影响，国家纳米技术计划（NNI）已确定纳米电子学是下一代信息技术设备之一，是九个“大挑战”领域之一，因为该领域的创新对经济和社会产生了重大的经济和社会影响。尽管此阶段的纳米技术中的大多数创新主要在单个设备的层面上，但正处于可以实现纳米技术的真正潜力的系统级别。 该项目对设计方法和系统级别的问题的相当独特的重点，例如建筑，鲁棒性和错误弹性的设计，将有助于加速可行的纳米电信系统的开发。另一方面，在这个早期阶段，纳米技术研究需要广泛的投资，并且本质上是真正的竞争力，这使其成为国际合作的理想候选人，以便我们可以利用该领域的全球投资和协调研究工作。 因此，我们将与来自台湾领先大学的研究人员和教育者以及该目标领域的中国的研究人员和教育者探索国际合作机会。除了研究合作外，我们还将启动一项教育计划，该计划将使美国学生和年轻研究人员能够访问参与国家的研讨会，联合研究，学生交流等。它将帮助他们欣赏这些地区的文化，技术和经济发展，从而培养未来领导者所需的科学才能和社会互动技能，以获得国际视野和经验。
