AbstractResearchers at The University of Michigan, Arizona State University, and Princeton Universitywill, during the next four years, explore core technologies for the next generation of computersystems, suitable for untethered pervasive computing. The requirements of the computing sub-stratein such devices is mind boggling, and so we have collected our research under the title ofMobile Supercomputing. We believe this phrase captures the need for the order-of-magnitudeincrease in performance need by such systems, while maintaining the minimal power budget thatis essential for mobile computing systems. The core technologies are a synergistic combination ofnovel co-design and circuit techniques that integrate into a generic platform architecture formobile supercomputing.The significance of this work for the user of tomorrows pervasive mobile computers will be thatthat they will provide a highly versatile light-weight computing and communication device withhands-free user interfaces such as speech recognition, gesture recognition, facial expression, andstreaming voice/video. This will allow the user to perform stand alone computing, communicatewith others in a number of ways, and provide a sophisticated portal to the internet and otherremote computing resources.
