Prof. M. Amin Shokrollahi
2017 Mustafa (PBUH) Prize Laureate
CEO and Founder of Kandou Bus Co.

Date: September 1, 2022
Time: 06:00-8:00 GMT (11:00-13:30 Pakistan Standard Time)

Abstract:

Communication of data on electrical wires between chips is fast gaining prominence in the electronics industry. Because most of the components of the transmitter and the receiver of such links are analog, rather than digital, they don’t benefit as much from Moore’s law. On the other hand, the need to transmit data ever faster calls for higher rates of transmission over existing electrical wires. Since in this type of communication noise is highly frequency dependent, higher transmission rates lead to much higher noise, and therefore a much higher growth of power consumption than linear. The industry has long recognised this problem as the “Interconnect bottleneck”. However, fundamental solutions to this important problem have remained elusive.

A look at the capacity of these channels reveals that today we are only transmitting at anywhere between 1% to 4% of the capacity. Therefore, at least on the surface, there is a lot to be gained by applying methods from communication theory to this problem. However, unlike many other systems such as wireless, DSL, satellite, or optical communication, the constraints on the chip-to-chip communication system are very different: transmission rates are typically 1000 times those encountered in wireless communication. On the other hand, the energy consumed for the transmission and recovery of each bit is about 1000 times less than what is customary in wireless. Also, latency requirements are extremely stringent, allowing only latencies up to very few nanoseconds. Therefore, it is not possible to use fancy processing methods.

In this talk, Prof. Shokrollahi will introduce a new modulation scheme for chip-to-chip communication which is called chordal codes. These codes are somewhat reminiscent of spatial MIMO systems, and provide a first step towards a better utilisation of the available communication bandwidth between chips. Current implementations of systems based on these codes show a large reduction of total power of the communication PHY and a large increase of the communication speed compared to other classical system.

Target Audience:

The webinar is open to students, researchers, young scientists, and academicians from the OIC member states, and other countries.

“Role of PCRWR in Addressing Water Security Challenges of Pakistan”
By Prof. Dr. Muhammad Ashraf
Chairman, Pakistan Council of Research in Water Resources (PCRWR)

Date: August 03^rd, 2022

Time: 2:00 – 3:00 PM Pak Time

Abstract: Pakistan is home to a growing 220 million population. Land and water resources are in abundance but they are challenged by the growing food and livelihood needs of the nation. In addition to socio-economic factors, climate change has also induced stress on existing water resources. This scenario has developed a wide range of issues in the water resources sector of Pakistan. Given the geographic magnitude of Pakistan and its natural resource base, simple but game-changing approaches are required to be adopted. In this regard, Pakistan Council of Research in Water Resources (PCRWR) has made just the same difference. Although major water resources development projects are crucial for building national water security, water resources management and conservation are equally important at consumer scale interventions. In doing so, PCRWR has utilized indigenous cultural knowledge as well as advanced digital technologies for generating evidence-based actions in water resources management. These include; rainwater harvesting in deserts, dry mountainous climates, urban rainwater harvesting followed by artificial groundwater recharge, rehabilitation of Karez cultural landscape, land and water conservation in arid and irrigated agriculture, earth observation techniques for surface and groundwater monitoring, digital irrigation advisory services for 20,000 farmers in Pakistan. On the policy side, PCRWR has also added values by sharing its knowledge driven by its execution experience. PCRWR has participated in developing National Water Policy 2018 followed by Provincial Water Acts, reporting and capacity building of Sustainable Development Goal 6. This talk will briefly reflect on these activities undertaken by PCRWR.

Muhammad Ashraf is basically an Agricultural Engineer. He graduated from the University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, and earned his PhD from the University of Newcastle, UK. He has more than 30 years of research and development experience in water resources development and management in arid and semi-arid areas and has over 100 national and international research publications at his credit. He is also the editor of the journal Paddy and Water Environment published by Springer. Presently, he is working as Chairman, PCRWR. He is also the convenor of Pakistan National Committee of International Hydrological Program (IHP) of UNESCO and the Coordinator of the Upper Indus Basin Network (UIBN).
