In this paper, we introduce a framework to estimate the power consumption on switch fabrics in network routers. We propose different modeling methodologies for node switches, internal buffers and interconnect wires inside switch fabric architectures. A simulation platform is also implemented to trace the dynamic power consumption with bit-level accuracy. Using this framework, four switch fabric architectures are analyzed under different traffic throughput and different numbers of ingress/egress ports. This framework and analysis can be applied to the architectural exploration for low power high performance network router designs.

E-textile
consisting of natural fabrics has become a promising material to construct
wearable sensors due to its comfortability and breathability on the
human body. However, the reported fabric-based e-textile materials,
such as graphene-treated cotton, silk, and flax, generally suffer
from the electrical and mechanical instability in long-term wearing.
In particular, fabrics on the human body have to endure heat variation,
moisture evaporation from metabolic activities, and even the immersion
with body sweat. To face the above challenges, here we report a wool-knitted
fabric sensor treated with graphene oxide (GO) dyeing followed by l-ascorbic acid (l-AA) reduction (rGO). This rGO-based
strain sensor is highly stretchable, washable, and durable with rapid
sensing response. It exhibits excellent linearity with more than 20%
elongation and, most importantly, withstand moisture from 30 to 90%
(or even immersed with water) and still maintains good electrical
and mechanical properties. We further demonstrate that, by integrating
this proposed material with the near-field communication (NFC) system,
a batteryless, wireless wearable body movement sensor can be constructed.
This material can find wide use in smart garment applications.
E‐Textiles have gained increasing momentum in wearable electronics recently. Conductive‐yarn‐based embroidered devices, with the advantages of being soft, deformable, breathable, and protective for the skin, play an important role in replacing many metallic counterparts. However, embroidered devices face many new challenges in their design methodology and fabrication processes, such as high resistivity and low Q value of the conductive yarns, as well as deformation of device geometries during wearing. Herein, a strain‐free, deformation‐resilient embroidery process for near field communication (NFC) coil antennas is introduced. Coil geometry can endure extreme deformation by stretching with up to 50% elongation, bending with curvature as small as 16 mm in radius, and can still maintain a relatively small variation in its inductance, resonant frequency, Q value, as well as its energy‐harvesting capabilities. The embroidered coil antenna is used in an NFC‐based battery‐free body sensor system. Experiments demonstrate that the system can maintain a stable performance (voltage supply, temperature sensing, and reading range) under various deformation conditions.
