ABSTRACT

SWARM CHIP ARCHITECTURE

The advent of semiconductors led to have

marvellous inventions which are helping
the mankind to have a luxurious and
fearless life. It has steered to have variety
of sensors with Nano-level of accuracy.
These objectives are achieved by the
electronic devices which play a vital role
in the assistance of human. Some of the
problems like power efficiency, speed,
structure are to be considered. These
problems should be rectified in such a way
that the performance of the system is
improved.

Swarm, a new chip design developed at

MIT, could now come to the rescue and
unleash the full power of parallel
processing for up to 75-fold speedups,
while requiring programmers to write a
fraction of the code. It is a 64-core chip
that includes specialized circuitry for both
executing and prioritizing tasks in a simple
and efficient manner, taking the onus off
software developers.

Keyword: Swarm chip architecture,

Spintronics, and flexible MOSFET
transistors.
INTRODUCTION
In this proposal, we are going to focus on
the parallel processing, speed of data

fabrication for efficient usage of power.
The parallel processing will produce some
problems like handling data, prioritization
and starvation, dead lock etc. The
electronic chips transport data through
electric charges. To increase the rate of
data transport in the system we are in need
of a new way to transfer data efficiently as
soon as possible with accuracy. The
fabrication of transistor is also a major
problem in these devices which will cause
short channel effect i.e. leakage through
areas which doesnt require the data.

Some systems will face complicated, timeconsuming, and add substantial overheads
that end up slowing the software's
execution. For this reason, parallel
programming is usually convenient only
for large tasks that number thousands of
instructions.

power of parallel computing

The Swarm architecture tackles these

problems by featuring specialized circuitry
for delegating even the smallest of tasks
very efficiently and enforcing a strict
priority among them. As a result,
programmers can execute tasks in parallel
with little overhead, making software run
up to ten times faster.

electrons(angular momentum) to store and

faster and more energy efficient than
conventional electronics, but a major
obstacle has been how to effectively
generate the spin current in the first place.
Now, scientists have formulated a new
method for quickly creating currents using
ultra short laser pulses.

Created on large rolls of pliable plastic,
these MOSFETs could be used to make a
host of devices ranging from wearable
electronics to bendable sensors.

the electrons, which move towards the silicon
(yellow), causing more spin up electrons (red) to
pass into the silicon than spin down ones (blue).

Since they can "spin up" or "spin down",

individual electrons can represent either of
the two binary states. We're quickly
closing in on the limit to how small we can
make current electronics, but spintronics
has the potential for much smaller, faster
and more energy efficient devices.
HIGH PERFORMANCE FLEXIBLE

Using a technique known as nanoimprint
lithography, researchers at the University
of Wisconsin-Madison (UW Madison) and
partners have created a breakthrough
method to allow the simple manufacture of

Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors
(MOSFET) that overcome many of the

Ordinarily, MOSFETs are produced by

growing a layer of silicon dioxide (SiO2)
on top of a silicon substrate and then
depositing a layer of metal or
polycrystalline silicon over that. However,
this method can be relatively imprecise
and difficult to fully control, so the doping
can sometimes leak into areas it isn't
wanted in to create what has been dubbed
the "short channel" effect.
To improve the quality of semiconductors
by reducing the likelihood of this dopant
leakage, the researchers employed a
process of electron-beam lithography. This
was then followed by molding and
subsequent etching to produce a much
more physically-controlled production
process.
INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGY
Both the three separate concepts can be put
together to form a integrated chip with
more efficiency than others.And there is
more possibilities to form an environment
with hybrid capabilities.

system with high speed of data transfer
accurately without leakage.

CONCLUSION
These techniques are considered to be a
way to enhance efficiency of the system.
