By John / 4 August 2020

The paper “Enabling Optimal Power Generation of Flow Cell Arrays in 3D MPSoCs with On-Chip Switched Capacitor Converters” is a collaborative research by Halima Najibi, Alexandre Levisse, Marina Zapater, and David Atienza, who are associated with EPFL’s Embedded Systems Laboratory (ESL). Considering the reputation of the symposium, built over a period of three decades, it is no mean achievement to have a paper accepted and then selected as the Best Paper. Many congratulations to the EPFL authors for their singular academic triumph.
