This award provides funding for a new Computing Research Infrastructure (CRI) project focused on power- and thermal-aware computing at Wayne State University. PORTAL (the proposed POweR and Thermal Aware computing Laboratory) will support a broad range of research on software-controlled power and thermal optimization of both general-purpose and embedded systems, by providing: 1) a diverse set of hardware test beds, ranging from server-level processors to smart phones; 2) precision power and thermal measurement capabilities permitting the development and verification of accurate power and thermal models; 3) battery power-dissipation measurement capabilities for investigation of systems in a compact environment; and 4) performance evaluation data collection mechanisms used in both research and education settings.Power and heat management are critical concerns for sustainable computing. Progress in this area benefits society through reduction in energy usage and enablement of new portable electronic devices with reduced battery lifetime limitations. The project improves educational opportunities and work-force development at Wayne State University through development of new courses on power and thermal effects in computing, improving coverage of energy and power dissipation in existing courses within the core curriculum, and providing hands-on experience for experimentation by students. The investigators are committed to making use of the new facilities in their efforts to involve more female and under-represented minority students in computing systems research, and their outreach activities to K-12 students.

该奖项为韦恩州立大学的一个新的计算研究基础设施（CRI）项目提供资金，该项目专注于功耗和热感知计算。 门户（拟议的POweR和热感知计算实验室）将支持通用和嵌入式系统的软件控制功率和热优化的广泛研究，提供：1）一套多样化的硬件测试平台，从服务器级处理器到智能手机; 2）精确的功率和热测量能力，允许开发和验证精确的功率和热模型; 3）电池功耗测量能力，用于紧凑环境中的系统研究; 4）性能评估数据收集机制，用于研究和教育环境。电源和热量管理是可持续计算的关键问题。 这一领域的进步通过减少能源使用和实现具有减少的电池寿命限制的新便携式电子设备而使社会受益。 该项目通过开发关于计算中的功率和热效应的新课程，在核心课程中的现有课程中增加能量和功率耗散的覆盖面，并为学生提供实验实践经验，改善了韦恩州立大学的教育机会和劳动力发展。 研究人员致力于利用新设施，努力让更多的女性和代表性不足的少数民族学生参与计算机系统研究，并向K-12学生开展宣传活动。
