Workshop on Energy Efficient Computing

被称为摩尔定律的计算性能的指数级增长，在20世纪推动了经济增长，现在被认为是由于与电子电路相关的功率消耗和带宽的根本障碍而停滞不前。研讨会将探索新型逻辑电路和互连的未来可能性，以解决与低功率计算相关的技术挑战。具体地说，NSF工程局的电子通信和网络系统(ECCS)部门和NSF的计算机信息科学和工程(CEISE)部门的计算和通信基础(CCF)部门正在与半导体研究公司(SRC)合作举办研讨会，以探索满足半导体行业下一代计算需求所需的低功耗电子领域的未来研究方向。研讨会仅限受邀参加，将汇集学术界和行业研究实验室的领先专家，为期两天。研讨会将编写一份报告，作为国家科学基金会和SRC制定新计划和/或修改该地区现有计划的基础。

Exponential improvements in computing performance known as the Moore's law, that drove economic growth in the 20th century, are now perceived to be stalled due to fundamental barriers of power dissipation and bandwidth associated with electronic circuits. The workshop will explore future possibilities of new types of logic circuits and interconnects to address the technical challenges associated with low power computing. Specifically, the Electrical Communications and Cyber Systems (ECCS) Division in the Engineering Directorate at NSF, and the Computing and Communication Foundations (CCF) Division at the Computer Information Sciences and Engineering (CISE) Directorate at NSF are holding a workshop in collaboration with the Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC) to explore the future research directions in the domain of low power electronics as may be required to satisfy the needs of next generation computing by the semiconductor industry. The invitation only workshop will assemble leading experts in the field from both academia and industry research laboratories for a period of two days. The workshop will generate a report which may form the basis for NSF and SRC to formulate new programs and/or modify existing programs in the area.
