Call for Posters
IBM Austin Conference on Energy-Efficient Design 2005
NEW EXTENDED DEADLINE: JANUARY 17, 2004
IBM Austin Research Laboratory's Low-Power Computing Research
Center is pleased to announce the fourth annual Austin Conference
on Energy-Efficient Design, ACEED 2005. This conference provides
a forum to exchange ideas on low-power techniques and methodologies
and to promote research on critical areas relating to energy-efficient
computing.
Although the agenda has yet to be finalized, the day's events
will include a poster session for which submissions are invited.
Topics of interest include:
Server and Storage Systems
- System level power analysis
- Server workload characterization beyond peak-performance
benchmarks
- Packaging and cooling issues
- Low power stand-by modes and fast-on
- Adaptive power management techniques - fast response to
power and cooling needs.
- Disk drives and storage systems, low-power storage
Software - OS, Hypervisor, Middleware, Applications
- Real-time, dynamic control of power
- Power-based scheduling and virtualization
- Fast-on from standby state
- Energy-efficient code optimizations
- Energy-efficiency in pervasive and wireless environments
Data Center System Management
- Resource usage based models for server power consumption
- Workload-based power management techniques
- Service level agreements addressing power concerns
- System power management across a heterogeneous IT environment
- Reports on current usage statistics
Circuit and Microarchitecture
- Energy-efficient digital and analog circuit designs
- CMOS devices and technology for low power
- Custom accelerators for improved energy efficiency
- Efficient power supply generation and conversion
- Clocking and latching for power efficiency
- Low power SRAM and I/O design
- Microarchitecture-level techniques for power management
Tools and Methodology
- System wide power analysis and simulation
- Incorporating power-/thermal- concerns in tools for logic
synthesis and layout.
- Leakage modeling
- Power aware circuit tuning and physical design
- Power modeling methods - early-, mid- and implementation
stage
- Power model validation and calibration methods
Poster submissions should include:
- 1 page (maximum) overview of the poster. Please use ASCII
text or Adobe PDF format.
- Including a rough sketch of the poster and/or a URL related
to the poster is recommended, but not required.
- Indication if the presentation is for a PUBLIC session (day
1) or INTERNAL (day 2/day3) session.
All poster submissions should be mailed to aceed@us.ibm.com
and must be received by January 17, 2005.
