Collaborative Research: ITR: Mobile Supercomputing

密歇根大学、亚利桑那州立大学和普林斯顿大学的研究人员将在未来四年探索下一代计算机系统的核心技术，适用于不受约束的普适计算。这样的设备对计算子策略的要求是令人难以置信的，因此我们将我们的研究收集在移动超级计算的标题下。我们相信这句话抓住了这种系统对性能需求的数量级增长的需求，同时保持对移动计算系统至关重要的最小功率预算。核心技术是新颖的协同设计和电路技术的协同组合，集成到移动超级计算的通用平台架构中。这项工作对未来无处不在的移动计算机用户的意义在于，它们将提供一种高度通用的轻量级计算和通信设备，具有语音识别、手势识别、面部表情和流媒体语音/视频等免提用户界面。这将允许用户执行独立计算，以多种方式与他人通信，并为互联网和其他远程计算资源提供一个复杂的门户。

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.
