About this Item

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the First International Workshop on Power-Aware Computer Systems, PACS 2000, held in Cambridge, MA, USA, in November 2000. The 11 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed, selected, and revised for inclusion in the book. This book addresses power/energy-awareness at all levels of computer systems. The papers are organized in sections on power-aware microarchitectural/circuit techniques, application/compiler optimization, exploiting IPC/memory slack, and power/performance models and tools.

About this title

Synopsis

The phenomenal increases in computer system performance in recent years have been accompanied by a commensurate increase in power and energy dissipation. The latter has directly resulted in demand for expensive packaging and cooling technology, an increase in product cost, and a decrease in product reliability in all segments of the computing market. Moreover, the higher power/energy dissipation has signi cantly reduced battery life in portable systems. While - stem designers have traditionally relied on circuit-level techniques to reduce - wer/energy, there is a growing need to address power/energy dissipation at all levels of the computer system. We are pleased to welcome you to the proceedings of the Power-Aware C- puter Systems (PACS 2000) workshop. PACS 2000 was the rst workshop in its series and its aim was to bring together experts from academia and industry to address power-/energy-awareness at all levels of computer systems. In these p- ceedings, we bring you several excellent research contributions spanning a wide spectrum of areas in power-aware systems, from application all the way to c- pilers and microarchitecture, and to power/performance estimating models and tools. We have grouped the contributions into the following speci c categories: (1) power-aware microarchitectural/circuit techniques, (2) application/compiler power optimizations, (3) exploiting opportunity for power optimization in - struction scheduling and cache memories, and (4) power/performance models and tools.
