Researcher Sergi Abadal receives a Proof of Concept grant to study wireless communication in integrated computing environments


Professor and researcher Sergi Abadal Cavallé, from the UPC’s Department of Computer Architecture, has been awarded last july an ERC Proof of Concept grant to emulate wireless communication among chiplets inside a computing system.

The European Research Council (ERC) has awarded last july a Proof of Concept grant to researcher Sergi Abadal Cavallé, from the Department of Computer Architecture of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC), who is also affiliated with the Barcelona School of Telecommunications Engineering (ETSETB) and the Barcelona School of Informatics (FIB).

This €150,000 grant will help the researcher to bring the project “Emulation of Wireless Communication among Chiplets inside a Computing System (EWiC)” closer to market. The findings of this study could potentially revolutionise computer architecture in the future, as it proposes a radically different chip-to-chip communication method, paving the way for designing new, faster and more efficient computing systems.

This proof of concept project is associated with the ERC Starting Grant for the WINC project. According to Abadal, "in WINC, we have conducted research on the theoretical value of using antennas for wireless chip-to-chip communication. Thanks to the new Proof of Concept project, we will put this idea into practice and attempt to experimentally confirm the results that we have obtained in WINC. We hope this will bring the idea closer to market and attract the interest of the chip industry, which is currently undergoing rapid development".

The EWiC project will be co-led by Abhijit Das, a postdoctoral researcher from the Department of Computer Architecture.

The ERC has selected 100 projects for this call, including those of two researchers from UPC-affiliated research institutes: Gerasimos Konstantatos, from the Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO), with the “Heterogeneous Integrated Short-wave Infrared Colloidal Quantum Dot Lasers (IRQUAL)” project, and Samuel Sánchez, from the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), with the “Therapeutic Effect of Nanobots in the Treatment of Joint Diseases (OrthoBots)” project.

We have used AlphaGalileo since its foundation but frankly we need it more than ever now to ensure our research news is heard across Europe, Asia and North America. As one of the UK’s leading research universities we want to continue to work with other outstanding researchers in Europe. AlphaGalileo helps us to continue to bring our research story to them and the rest of the world.

AlphaGalileo has helped us more than double our reach at SciDev.Net. The service has enabled our journalists around the world to reach the mainstream media with articles about the impact of science on people in low- and middle-income countries, leading to big increases in the number of SciDev.Net articles that have been republished.
