Genetic Algorithm for the Design of Microchip Flow Cytometers

Bang H., Lee W.G., Yun H., Min J.K., Chung C., Chang J.K., Han D-C, Seoul National University, KR

Robot designers and artificial-intelligence researchers have long been inspired by living things. Now, we are trying to mimic some of the most fundamental features of life while designing micro devices. In this paper we proved [...]

New Pair Force Evaluation Method for Parallel Molecular Dynamics in Arbitrary Geometries

Macpherson G.B., Reese J.M., University of Strathclyde, UK

We develop a new molecular dynamics algorithm for pair force evaluation of molecules occupying arbitrary polyhedral, unstructured mesh geometries. This is designed for hybrid MD/continuum simulation of nanofluidic systems. We show that the conventional MD [...]

Monte Carlo Algorithm for Nanoscale Electro-Thermal Optimization

Skorek A.W., Ble S.V., Anders G., Nazarko J., University of Quebec at Trois-Rivieres, CA

In this paper, we will present a Monte Carlo method based algorithm established for a sample nanoelectronics device. We are assuming that at the nanoscale level like at the highest the thermal phenomena are important [...]

A Parallel Intelligent OPC Technique for Design and Fabrication of VLSI Circuit

Yu S-M., Li Y., National Chiao Tung University, TW

Optical lithography is the key technology used in very large scale integrated (VLSI) circuit and systemon- a-chip (SoC) fabrication [1-3]. The exposure on wafer has distortions due to the proximity effects. Hence, a correction of [...]

Calculation of Shock Waves and Temperatures of FCC Single Crystals (Nickel) using Large-Scale Molecular Dynamics

Kum O., Clemson University, US

Multimillion-atom molecular dynamics simulations using double-SPMD (SPSPMD) have been applied to calculate fcc single crystal, Nickel, shock wave and temperature profiles on a CrayT3E. Three well known model potentials, analytical EAM, Morse type simple pair, [...]
