Future computing ecosystem
The coming decade
will see the convergence of current numerical
technologies, including embedded systems via
IoT, high-performance and cloud computing,
towards pervasive large-scale distributed
virtualized systems. This trend will have a
heavy impact on the way one will address
upcoming scientific, industrial and societal
problems.
Energy-efficiency, a major challenge
This ecosystem
will come with a number of major
challenges including security,
reliability and
energy-efficiency. This project
addresses the latter by exploring a
system design continuum, going
seamlessly from software to emerging
technologies via hardware
architecture. Power saving
opportunities exist at each of these
levels, but real measurable gains will
come from the synergistic focus on all
these levels.
For a cross-disciplinary approach
A
cross-disciplinary collaboration is
promoted here between computer science and
microelectronics, in order to achieve two main
breakthroughs: i) combination of
state-of-the-art heterogeneous
adaptive embedded multicore
architectures with emerging
communication and memory technologies
and, ii) power-aware dynamic
compilation techniques that suitably
match such architectures.
