The energy efficiency of high-end computers has reached a plateau for some time now, yielding devices that are constrained by power and thermal limits and do not realize the full performance potential of advanced semiconductors. This research project will explore computing architectures that rely on energy recycling to operate with significantly improved energy efficiency and are thus capable of achieving sustained clock speeds well in excess of 10GHz without any special cooling requirements. The resulting technologies will be assessed through the design and evaluation of silicon prototype chips. The outcomes of this research project can be transformative, demonstrating integrated computing systems that achieve unprecedented performance levels.The proposed research is expected to have a significant impact on the realization of next-generation high-performance computers, promoting discovery, teaching, and learning in novel design technologies that yield energy-efficient electronics. Broader outcomes of the proposed effort include the integration of research activities into graduate-level courses, the development of lectures and projects for advanced undergraduate-level courses, the direct involvement of electrical engineering and computer science majors through senior-level design projects, and the engagement of high school students.

高端计算机的能源效率现在已经达到了一段时间，产生了受功率和热极限限制的设备，并且没有意识到晚期半导体的全部性能潜力。 该研究项目将探索依靠能源回收来以显着提高能源效率运行的计算体系结构，因此能够实现持续的时钟速度，远超过10GHz，而无需任何特殊的冷却要求。 所得技术将通过硅原型芯片的设计和评估进行评估。 该研究项目的结果可能具有变革性，证明了实现前所未有的绩效水平的集成计算系统。预计拟议的研究将对下一代高性能计算机的实现产生重大影响，从而在新型设计技术中促进发现，教学和学习，从而产生能源效率高效的电子产品。 拟议的努力的更广泛的结果包括将研究活动集成到研究生级课程中，开发高级本科课程的讲座和项目，通过高级设计项目的直接参与电气工程和计算机科学专业的专业，以及高中生的互动。
