Scaling of integrated circuit process technologies has enabled orders-of-magnitude increases in the processing capabilities of microprocessors, however their input/output (I/O) signalling bandwidths have increased at a slower rate. Hence, computational and signal processing systems are not reaching their full potential, because data communication cannot keep up with data processing, and because data communication dissipates an increasingly large fraction of a system's total power dissipation. To address this, we are conducting research in the areas of chip-to-chip and on-chip data communication.

集成电路工艺技术的缩放使得微处理器的处理能力能够以数量级增加，然而它们的输入/输出（I/O）信令带宽以较慢的速率增加。因此，计算和信号处理系统尚未充分发挥其潜力，因为数据通信无法跟上数据处理的步伐，并且因为数据通信消耗了系统总功耗中越来越大的一部分。为了解决这个问题，我们正在芯片到芯片和芯片上数据通信领域进行研究。
