 The
IBM Austin Research Laboratory (ARL) is one of eight IBM
research laboratories worldwide. The lab's original focus centered
heavily on high-speed microprocessors, with emphasis on very fast
circuit families and computer-aided design tools to support complex
and high performance microarchitectures. The ARL has not only maintained
its edge in these areas, but broadened its concentration to include
software and hardware systems.
 Current
focus areas of ARL include high performance/low power VLSI design
and tools, system-level power analysis, and new system architectures.
There is a wide range of low power and energy efficiency activities
underway throughout the multiple IBM Research laboratories and throughout
the various IBM product and services divisions.
In addition to its own ongoing power-related research, ARL, as
part of IBM's Low Power Initiative, is helping to coordinate low
power and energy efficiency activities and bring people together
throughout IBM who are working in these important areas.
