講題摘要 & 主講人介紹 

=====================================================

第一場

  題:A Shining old Technology - An Overview of Ethernet Switch & Switch IC Design

  要:Ethernet celebrated its 40 years old birthday and Ethernet switch is entering the 25th year in 2013. While many other technologies came and faded, what makes Ethernet and Ethernet switch shine and grow today? In this presentation, we will have an overview of Ethernet technology and Ethernet switch. From the market segment to switch hardware architecture to ASICs inside a switch. The consideration to design an Ethernet switch IC, the tradeoff, the complexity, and the possible challenges. In the end, we will explore future opportunities and the hottest topics in today’s network world.

第二場

  題:Tree-Searching Based MIMO Detectors: Algorithms and VLSI Architectures

  要:Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) has been recognized as a promising technology to improve the quality of service and/or to achieve high data rate for wireless communication systems. It has also been adopted as part of a number of industry standards such as WiMAX, LTE, and the next generation WLAN (802.11n, 802.11ac). However, the lucrative features of MIMO communications come along with the costs of significantly increased system complexity. This talk presents efficient designs for the spatial multiplexing MIMO receivers at both the algorithm and VLSI architecture levels. First of all, the design of efficient MIMO detector based on the tree-searching approach will be discussed where algorithms examining a much smaller subset of points in the tree structure and thus improving the timing efficiency will be demonstrated. Novel VLSI architectures that can achieve low energy consumption will then be introduced. The implementation results show that the proposed approach can achieve comparable BER performance with greatly reduced system complexity. Furthermore, this talk introduces an algorithm and VLSI architecture to perform joint detection and decoding for MIMO systems utilizing convolutional codes. The simulation and implementation results will be illustrated showing that compared with conventional structure the proposed scheme can significantly reduce complexity when jointly considering the MIMO detector and channel decoder. Finally, an error-resilient MIMO detection scheme is depicted. This structure is error-resilient in a sense that it can achieve near-optimal performance in the presence of both channel noise and memory errors due to aggressive voltage scaling.

主講人:國立台灣科技大學 電子系 沈中安教授

   歷:Chung-An Shen (沈中安) received the B.Sc. degree from National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST), Taipei, Taiwan in 2000, the M.Sc. degree from the Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, USA in 2003, and the Ph.D. degree from the University of California, Irvine in 2012. He joined the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering at NTUST (國立台灣科技大學電子系) in 2012, where he is currently an Assistant Professor. His research interests are in low-power digital circuits and signal processing architectures for wireless communication and multimedia systems.

Dr. Shen has been on the technical program committee and review panel for numerous IEEE journals, workshops, and conferences in the area of VLSI, wireless communication, and Video processing systems. Since January 2013, he has been a Handling Editor for the Journal of Circuits, Systems, and Computers (JCSC). Before joining the NTUST, Dr. Shen also held several industry positions including DSP Engineer at Texas Instruments Asia Branch (2004-2007), Digital Design Interns at Mindspeed Technologies Inc. (2011), and Senior System Engineer at Qualcomm Inc. (2012).

第三場(II)

講  題:IoT (Internet of Things) Market Trends

  要:The market is moving from personal compute era to computing everywhere in the coming future. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a scenario in which objects, animals or people are provided with unique identifiers and the ability to automatically transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. IoT has evolved from the convergence of wireless technologies, micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) and the Internet. With the big data from these connected devices, people could optimize their existing daily life for the better quality and also avoid the mistakes. ARM would like to share our views by hardware, software and service trends from tiny less-one-dollar sensors to enterprise level server and discuss with you what business opportunity is going to happen in the coming future.
