We are pleased to request papers for presentation at the upcoming Third
Workshop on Energy Efficient Design (WEED 2011), which is being held in affiliation
with ISCA 2011 and part of the FCRC this year. The workshop will provide a
forum for the exchange of ideas on research on critical areas relating to
energy-efficient computing, including energy-aware design techniques for
systems (large and small), energy management policies and mechanisms, and
standards for evaluating energy efficiency. We hope to attract a broad mix
of researchers from both academia and industry, as reflected in the
composition of our program committee.
To encourage discussion between participants, the WEED 2011 workshop format
will include significant time for discussion between presenters and the
audience. We also plan to have a keynote speaker and/or panel session.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- VLSI and
Microarchitecture
- Energy-efficient
CMOS devices and technology
- Energy-efficient
microarchitecture and circuits design
- Energy-efficient
memory and storage technologies
- Designs that
tackle technology scaling limitations and the impact of process
variability on power consumption
- Adaptive design
for dynamic power management
- Systems
- Power-aware
compilers, operating systems, hypervisors, workload managers, and
other system software.
- Energy-efficient
memory and storage systems
- Energy-efficient
server, network and embedded system designs
- Packaging and
cooling of components and systems
- Instrumentation,
monitoring, and control infrastructures for adaptive power management
solutions
- Datacenter
- Planning and
analysis tools for energy-efficient datacenter design
- Energy-efficient
power distribution and facilities cooling designs
- Case studies of
design impact/improvements for DC efficiency
- Community
- Design and
analysis of power/performance benchmarks
- Designs that
consider and mitigate lifetime exergy costs
- Design of
standards/common APIs to facilitate cross-stack/cross-vendor power
management
The workshop seeks to promote both well-designed solutions that tackle the
complexity of realizing real-world energy-efficient system implementations
as well as emerging, novel approaches to energy-efficient design. We
encourage both industry and academic researchers to submit their research.
Preliminary results of interesting ideas are welcome. Submissions that are
likely to generate vigorous discussion will be favored!
Submission format: All papers should be submitted in PDF format,
using 10 point or larger font for text (8 points or larger for figures and
tables), total length not to exceed 6 pages.
Submission website: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=weed2011
(opens March 15, 2011)
Selected papers from the workshop would be considered for publication in the IEEE Computer Architecture Letters.
