NSF Workshop on Cross-Layer Power Optimization and Management

这是一项建议，举办NSF cise赞助的研讨会，以调查跨层电源优化和管理的最新技术，确定需要进一步研究和发展的领域，并为该领域制定一个变革性的研究议程。该研讨会预计将汇集来自学术界和工业界的约50名领先研究人员，研究系统范围的电源优化技术和动态电源管理，包括主要芯片设计公司的代表。研讨会的所有材料将提供给研究界，并将准备一份详细的报告并提交给美国国家科学基金会。功率效率是半导体工业及其所有组件的重要驱动因素。通过研究当前功率和/或能源效率方法的缺点和弱点，预计将实现一种新的低功耗技术和电路解决方案，对下一代便携式电子产品的设计以及高性能（但节能）计算产生切实影响。

This is a proposal to hold an NSF CISE-sponsored workshop in to survey the state-of-the art in cross-layer power optimization and management, to identify areas that require further research and development, and to chart a transformative research agenda for this field. The workshop is expected to bring together about 50 of the leading researchers studying system-wide power optimization techniques and dynamic power management from both academe and industry including representatives from major chip design companies. All of the material from the workshop will be made available to the research community and a detailed report will be prepared and submitted to NSF.Power efficiency is an important driver for the semiconductor industry and all of its components. By investigating the shortcomings and weaknesses of the current approaches to power and/or energy efficiency it is expected that a new slate of low power technology and circuit solutions with tangible impact on the design of the next generation portable electronics as well as high performance (yet energy aware) computing will be achieved.
