<div style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">In its <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/PR-CO-20131015-905308.html"><span style="color: #011a99; letter-spacing: 0px;">Global Data Cloud Index</span></a> released Oct. 15, Cisco forecasts that global cloud traffic will grow 4.5-fold, a 35 percent combined annual growth rate, by 2017. Today’s data centers in which rows of servers sprawl over hundreds of thousands of square feet already consume some 30 billion watts of electricity, <i>The New York Times</i> <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/23/technology/data-centers-waste-vast-amounts-of-energy-belying-industry-image.html?pagewanted=all&_r=1&"><span style="color: #011a99; letter-spacing: 0px;">reported </span></a>last year. </span></div>

<div style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">And this is all the more reason to rethink data center design and size so they require a lot less power and space, said two University of California, San Diego researchers in the <a href="http://www.sciencemag.org/content/342/6155/202.summary"><span style="color: #011a99; letter-spacing: 0px;">Oct. 11</span></a> issue of the journal <i>Science</i>. </span></div>

<div style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Cloud computing is the fastest growing segment of data center traffic, approximating 1.2 zettabytes of annual traffic in 2012, according to Cisco’s annual report. Meanwhile, overall global data center traffic will grow threefold to 7.7 zettabytes by 2017. Cisco provides a little social math to illustrate just how much data traffic we’re talking about. </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">In their commentary, electrical engineer Yeshaiahu (Shaya) Fainman and computer scientist George Porter proposed replacing the racks and racks of servers in today’s data centers into a single chip. “These ‘rack-on-chips’ will be networked, internally and externally, with both optical circuit switching to support large flows of data and electronic packet switching to support high-priority data flows,” Fainman and Porter write. </span><br />

<div style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Their proposed solution will require several significant technology advances. The most significant are how to network all the individual processors on a single chip as well as how to network multiple rack-on-chips to each other, said Porter. “To handle Big Data processing and data-intensive applications, you've got to have an enormous amount of network bandwidth, and we're developing new technologies to deliver that bandwidth cheaper, with less power and heat, and in a smaller form-factor than existing approaches,” Porter said. Fainman’s <a href="http://emerald.ucsd.edu/"><span style="color: #011a99; letter-spacing: 0px;">lab</span></a> has been developing several aspects of the dense integration of electronics and photonics and nanophotonic technology required to achieve this vision in collaboration with several other universities as part of the <a href="http://www.cian-erc.org/"><span style="color: #011a99; letter-spacing: 0px;">Center for Integrated Access Networks</span></a>. Fainman’s lab last year built the <a href="http://www.jacobsschool.ucsd.edu/news/news_releases/release.sfe?id=1161"><span style="color: #011a99; letter-spacing: 0px;">smallest no-waste laser</span></a> to date, a significant step needed to enable future computer chips with optical communications. Their breakthrough was reported in the journal <i>Nature</i>. </span></div>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">“But the meat and potatoes of Yeshaiahu Fainman and George Porter’s server-rack-on-a-chip vision is really about taking the existing framework for a server rack and recreating it at the nano-level. They say that miniaturizing all server components so that several servers can fit onto a computer chip would increase processing speed. Making circuit systems to support all these mini-components using advanced lithography is already feasible, but scientists have yet to realize nano-transceivers and circuit-switchers—the key components that transmit data. And while silicon chips are increasing being used to transmit data-carrying light waves in fiber optic networks, efficiently generating light on a silicon chip is still early in its development. The researchers offer some solutions, like including light generating nanolasers in the chip design.”</span></blockquote>

<span style="font-size: small;">Joshua Windmiller, a postdoctoral researcher working in the lab of UC San Diego nanoengineering Professor Joseph Wang, is working on a commercially viable printed biofuel cell that could derive power from urine, sewage and other wastewater sources. The technology is designed to meet a need for field-deployable and mobile power solutions particularly for recharging the electronic devices that soldiers carry with them into the battlefield such as night vision goggles, GPS systems, and two-way radios in order to prolong deployments. This technology could lighten the load of batteries soldiers must carry with them on missions into remote areas. </span></div>

"Steve Swanson and Yannis Papakonstantinou combine their hardware architecture and database expertise in the project "Re-engineering Database Systems for Fast Solid State Drives", which was recently awarded $500,000 by the National Science Foundation.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #202834; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
A new class of non-volatile, solid-state memories (e.g., phase-change memory, spin-torque MRAMs, and the memristor) are emerging that promise to revolutionize the way that computer systems store and<br />process data. Getting the full benefit of these new memories requires us to re-engineer database systems. This project is analyzing the implications for these new memories on database systems and devising now hardware and software mechanisms to improve performance in transacting with the database, improve performance in analyzing Big Data and reduce energy consumption.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #202834; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
The potential impacts of these optimizations is wide-reaching. Database (in various forms) constitute the heart of the cloud computing infrastructure that supports many of the "killer apps" that are driving technologies forward. Leveraging these new technologies, will make it cheaper, easier, and greener to implement existing applications and will enable new applications that are not currently possible."</div>

The video explores the benefits of UC San Diego's microgrid system and how it is helping energy researchers at the U.S. Navy to deploy smart grid technologies at military bases. The microgrid was developed partly thanks to research by scientists at the Jacobs School of Engineering.

<a href="http://www.sba.gov/advocacy/858/3177">Winslow Sargeant</a>, chief counsel for advocacy at the U.S.
Small Business Administration’s Office of Advocacy, was on campus this week for
a roundtable discussion with entrepreneurs and researchers about the regulatory
and bureaucratic barriers, and funding limitations that can keep good inventions
stuck in the laboratory. The discussion was hosted by the <a href="http://www.vonliebig.ucsd.edu/">von Liebig Center forEntrepreneurism and Technology Advancement</a> and <a href="http://www.connect.org/">CONNECT</a>. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Research is the transformation of money into knowledge.
Innovation is the transformation of knowledge into money in the form of
companies, products and services,” said Sargeant. “We want you to make it to
the other side,” he added, referencing the dreaded valley of death, where many
an innovative idea has died due to lack of resources and funding. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Several challenges were raised during the discussion,
including dwindling federal and state funding for research and
commercialization via the<a href="http://www.sbir.gov/"> Small Business Innovation Research</a> (SBIR) program (combined
with increased competition for those dollars), mismatched priorities between
the kind of research that federal agencies fund and the needs of the medical
community, and the funding process by which proposals are reviewed, which
several in attendance described as “broken.” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The uncertainty about funding for research is creating a
discouraging environment for undergraduate and graduate students considering
whether to pursue a doctorate degree, which several attendees agreed could be
“devastating” at the junior faculty level over the long-term. Sargeant said
this trend is especially problematic. “If we’re encouraging young people to go
into STEM fields, there has to be a pathway. There can’t be a valley of death
for the entrepreneur and scientist,” he said.</div>

Solutions were also proposed. Among them: shortening the
review cycle for Small Business Innovation Research grants from nine months or
more to three to five months; providing more education and training to
individuals who review the SBIR funding proposals; a mentoring program to help
less experienced entrepreneurs compete for this type of funding; and a pre-proposal
process to weed out and provide feedback to researchers whose ideas need more
work. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Attendees also recommended changing
an SBIR rule that requires the principal investigator on any grant to be
primarily employed (more than 50 percent of the time) by the company. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The requirement often means faculty members or
researchers need to leave the university – and the health care and other
benefits it provides – to pursue a highly risky venture. </div>

Sargeant is currently traveling around the country visiting
with business leaders, inventors and entrepreneurs about the challenges that
may be impeding the growth of small businesses. As chief counsel for advocacy
at the SBA, Sargeant advocates for policies that support the growth and
development of small businesses. The von Liebig Center at UC San Diego Jacobs
School of Engineering provides proof of concept funding and advisory services

The pitches included technologies to cure cancer, brain computer interfaces
for patients without speech, an automated portfolio management system, sensor
assisted orthopedic surgery, garbage compactors, and an enhanced dental
implant. More than 300 students, faculty, investors, professionals and
entrepreneurs were in attendance as an esteemed panel of judges representing
San Diego’s business and technology communities decided who would take home
$100K in funding and advisory services in the 6<sup>th</sup> annual University
of California, San Diego <a href="http://challenge.ucsd.edu/">Entrepreneur Challenge</a>.<br />
<br />
In the end, medical technologies ruled the day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kenan Azam, CEO for the Entrepreneur
Challenge and a programmer/analyst in the Jacobs School’s Department of
Bioengineering, described 2012 as a record year in both number and quality of
submissions, which he believes is an indication of growth in San Diego’s
entrepreneurial ecosystem. The quality of the participating teams forced planners
to expand the number of finalists from five to seven. Teams connected to the
Jacobs School took the top two spots.<br />

School.<br />
<br />
Second prize with $28,000 in cash and services went to SONRGY, which is
aiming to be a leader in localized drug delivery directed to cancer tumors.
SONRGY’s focused ultrasound enabled proprietary nanocarriers improve the
effectiveness of cancer therapy by reducing administered dose and toxic side
effects through exquisite 3D spatial selectivity. SONRGY is led by a
seasoned team of technology leaders, entrepreneurs, and marketing experts
including co-inventors Michael Benchimol and professor Sadik Esener from the
NanoEngineering Department and the UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center.<br />

In its six years of existence, the Entrepreneur Challenge has raised and
awarded over $500,000 in prizes to enterprising students and researchers.
Many of these start-ups have continued to grow and have raised
significant venture funding.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Challenge
VP Rajesh Grover, a scientist at The Scripps Research Institute, and COO Helen
Saad, a PhD candidate in bioengineering, honored six San Diego based start-ups
that started out by winning the Entrepreneur Challenge. These companies are:

computation, machine learning and computer vision -- has three ways to win one
of 25 awards for travel for professional development activities. One is by
winning the Public Choice award. Current faculty, students and alumni involved
in the IGERT program are also eligible to vote for him to receive one of four
Community Choice awards. And ultimately, NSF IGERT PIs at the annual meeting
will vote on 20 recipients of travel awards based purely on the academic merit
of the presentations.</span></div>

For the second year in a row, a team led by Alex Forencich, a fifth-year student at the Jacobs School, took first place at the California Micromouse competition, held on campus May 20. Forencich autonomous robotic mouse found the center of a maze in just 40 seconds.<br />
<br />
It was a close finish: the team that took second place, led by Todd Yamakawa of the University of Hawaii at Manoa, took 11 seconds to solve the maze. But they also took a 30-second penalty for pick up the mouse at some point during the competition. The third place team also took a 30-second penalty, in addition to taking 55 seconds to solve the maze.<br />
<br />
In all, 28 teams, and their micromice, competed all day Sunday at the Qualcomm Center, on the ground floor of Jacobs Hall, also known as EBU 1 on the UC San Diego campus. The teams hailed from as far as China, and as close as UC San Diego. Teams from UCLA, UC Riverside and other Southern California campuses also attended.
The mice are completely autonomous and the goal is to get to the center of the maze as fast as possible. They typically use a microcontroller (a small computer on an integrated circuit) and infrared sensors reflecting off the walls to make their way through the maze. Some also use a wireless interface to transmit debugging data back to their team’s laptop.<br /><br />Most teams build the robots with off-the-shelf components. But some prefer to put together a custom circuit board, chassis and other parts. All robots map the maze, then return to the starting point and make a run for the center, using the fastest route they’ve found. Some prefer to map the whole maze, then plot a route to the center. Others prefer to map the maze only until they’ve figured out where the center is, then make a run for it. Teams are not allowed to reprogram their robots after they’ve seen the maze.
The competition was hosted by UCSD IEEE at the Jacobs School of Engineering.Ioana Buibashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15634462171741972298noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289301350164784187.post-59319133700057111902012-05-18T13:07:00.002-07:002012-05-18T13:07:52.365-07:00Robotic Mice Take Over Qualcomm Center at Jacobs School Sunday<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: small;">Don't worry, these mice don't bite. They're really robots designed to find the center of a maze as soon as possible, without needing cheese as a reward.
