Sharing low-power techniques and research in Austin
Press Release - March 8, 2003
The third annual Austin Conference on Energy-Efficient Design (ACEED) 2004 was held March 2 - 4 at IBM’s Austin Research Lab in Texas. Over 100 participants, including IBMers from a variety of locations plus invited academic and industry representatives, attended the event.

The goal of the conference was to provide a forum to exchange ideas on low-power techniques and methodologies and to promote research on critical areas relating to future energy-efficient computing. This area is rapidly growing in significance as the industry starts to understand that future computer designs will be limited not by how many transistors can fit on a single die, but rather by how much power those transistors will require.
