9729900深井，伊利诺伊-芝加哥大学克里希纳大学CISE研究仪器：用于新兴低功耗射频VLSI技术设计和原型的研究仪器这一研究仪器拨款支持四个不同的研究项目：-半导体技术CAD(STCAD)工具集成和校准，-研究深亚微米低功耗射频CMOS器件和互连中的新物理现象，-低功耗射频CMOS器件和互连的电路仿真建模，以及-低功耗混合信号射频CMOSVLSI的设计优化和原型制作。为了支持上述项目，伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校电气工程和计算机科学系将购买最先进的计算设备，专门支持计算机和信息科学与工程领域的多学科研究。该设备将用于上述几个研究项目。这项提议的主要目标是获得一个高性能多处理器和两个工作站，这将能够在合理的周转时间内执行高CPU密集型有限元模拟。该服务器将提供模拟传统台式工作站所不允许的复杂性和准确性所需的性能。这台设备将支持20多名研究生和1名教职员工进行研究。

9729900 Shenai, Krishna University of Illinois - Chicago CISE Research Instrumentation: Research Instrumentation for the Design and Prototyping of Emerging Low-Power RF VLSI Technologies This research instrumentation grant enables four distinct research projects: - Semiconductor Technology CAD (STCAD) Tool Integration and Calibration,- Investigation of a Novel Physical Phenomena in Deep Submicron Low-Power RF CMOS Devides and Interconnects,- Circuit Simulation Modeling of Low-Power RF CMOS Devices and Interconnects, and- Design Optimization and Prototyping of Low-Power Mixed Signal RF CMOS VLSI. To support the aforementioned projects, the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Chicago will purchase state-of-the-art computing equipment dedicated to supporting multidisciplinary research in computer and information science and engineering. The equipment will be used for several research projects cited above. The primary objective of this proposal is to acquire a high-performance multiprocessor and two workstations which will enable performing highly cpu-intensive finite-element simulations with reasonable turn-around time. The server will provide the performance necessary for simulations of a complexity and accuracy not permitted with conventional desktop workstations. This equipment will support over 20 graduate students and one faculty member in their research.
