Kool Chips Workshop
Call for Papers
Sunday 10th December, 2000
in conjunction with MICRO33, Monterey, California
Abstract submission deadline: November 7th,
2000
Invited Speakers
Theme
The limits imposed by power
consumption are becoming an issue in most areas of computing. The need to
limit power consumption is readily apparent in the case of portable and mobile
computer platforms — the laptop and the cell phone being the most common
examples. But the need to limit power in other computer settings is becoming important
too.
This workshop is the third
in a series of workshops and tutorials designed to bring together researchers in
the area of architecture-power trade-offs and provide a forum for them to
discuss their preliminary ideas.
The
first of these meetings, the Power-Driven Microarchitecture Workshop
was held at ISCA98 in Barcelona, Spain. It helped raise the awareness of the
architecture community to concerns about power issues. This workshop was
followed by a tutorial, the Cool Chips Tutorial at MICRO32
in Haifa, Israel. It assembled a group of speakers from leading microprocessor
companies to give presentations on what they consider to be their critical low
power issues now and in the future, and some possible solutions to these
problems.
Topics of interest are any subject that addresses
power-aware computing and communications.
The focus will be broad and includes on
microarchitecture, architecture, operating systems and compilers.
Paper submission
