New Type of On-Board Chip Clocks Breaking Records

Professors Forrest Brewer and Jim Buckwalter have made some notable progress on design of a new type of on-board chip clocks: super stable ones and super low power/small footprint ones. Both are breaking records and they will likely patent these designs. While the higher power one is not saving energy at the tested scale, it will do so in finer technology (and Prof. Brewer and his group are working with Prof. Buckwalter to integrate it as a clock for his use in 22nm). The other one is already low power and stable enough for link or communication use.
