活动简介
PATMOS 2014 is co-located with VARI 2014 in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. PATMOS has a history of more than 20 years and it was one of the first conferences world-wide to focus on low power. The Scopeof PATMOS 2014: ICT Energy-Efficiency. The traditional scope of the PATMOS conference series has mainly been about and around the design of circuits and architectures optimized for highest performance at lowest power consumption. But meanwhile, power-efficiency has become extremely important for many more areas spreading far beyond this traditional R&D niche. Energy-efficient ICT (Information and Communication Technology) infrastructures are a key issue of local and global economies. Some predict that until the year 2030, if current trends continue, the electricity consumption caused by the Internet to grow by up to 30 times. Energy prices will grow substantially. The next generation of oil and gas seismic simulations, for instance, will require orders of magnitude more computational power. Already during the past 11 years the price of crude oil increased by a factor of 9 with significantly increasing tendency in the future. The strong increase of wireless communication and the growth of cloud computing will further contribute to this trend. A future peta- or exa-flop supercomputer would need its own power plant if the gap between computation and power consumption could not be resolved: At the Top 500 list from 2008 through 2012 the energy efficiency has improved from 228 MFlops/Watt to 280 MFlops/Watt, yielding only an average factor of 1.05 per year. But not only for data centers and future supercomputers electricity is often the largest cost factor. Compared to the current status of research on power-efficient high performance ICT we are facing the challenge to achieve results being better by several orders of magnitude.
