Power-Aware Computer Systems: First International Workshop, PACS 2000 Cambridge, MA, USA, November 12, 2000 Revised Papers

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 tradition...
