Wireless Networks within Next-Generation Computing Systems

Project description

A wireless revolution of computing for the decades to come

Computer scientists and architects are in a continuous race to find new ways to build faster processors. Advances led to disruptive technologies. The ERC-funded WINC project will test the hypothesis that wireless terahertz technology – the next frontier in wireless communications – will lead to significant improvement in the speed, efficiency, and scalability of both non-quantum and quantum processing systems. The project will reveal the fundamental limits of wireless communications within computing packages. Secondly, it will develop antennas and protocols that operate close to those limits. Next, it will design radically novel architectures that translate the unique benefits of the wireless vision into order-of-magnitude improvements at system level to pave the way for the next generation of processors.
