Workshop on Power-Aware Computer Systemshttp://www.ece.cmu.edu/~pacs02
The ever-increasing levels of on-chip integration in the recent decade have enabled phenomenal increases in computer system performance. Unfortunately, the performance improvement has been also accompanied by an increase in a chip's power and energy dissipation. Higher power and energy dissipation require more expensive packaging and cooling technology, increase cost, decrease product reliability in all segments of computing market, and significantly reduce battery life in portable systems.The motivation behind the workshop is to provide a forum to present issues related to power dissipation and energy consumption to the architecture community. In particular, we will discuss power and power-related issues in computer system design, to help understand and overcome the limitations of existing hardware/software solutions for power reduction. Furthermore, we will also present a forum for examining innovative solutions to the power problem for computer systems at all levels of performance.
The topics of interests within the domain of power-aware computer systems will include but are not limited to:
- power/energy reduction in laptops, desktops, or servers
- power/energy reduction in embedded systems
- power-aware or low-power architectures/microarchitectures
- power-aware or low-power compilers
- power-aware or low-power operating systems
- integrated software, hardware solutions
- tools for estimating power/energy
- techniques to reduce switching power/energy
- techniques to reduce leakage power/energy
- relibaility issues related to power optimization
- analysis and solutions to the di/dt problem
Results of both theoretical and practical significance will be considered.
Formal proceedings will be published as one issue of Springer-Verlag's "Lecture Notes in Computer Science" (LNCS) series soon after the workshop. Informal proceedings will be handed out at the workshop.
Authors are requested to submit extended abstracts not exceeding 10 PDF pages in 8x11 inch format, including abstract, five key words, contact address, figures, and references. The PDF file must be viewable using acrobat. Please send your extended abstracts via email to pacs02@ece.cmu.edu by December 17th (extended).
