ParaDIME on the Workshop on the Future Energy in ICT Research Agenda

A new paper presented in PPPJ 2015
ParaDIME at the ICT Energy Summer School
- Basic on the physics of energy transformations at micro and nanoscales
- Introduction to energy harvesting and distributed autonomous mobile devices
- Software and energy aware computing
- High performance computing and systems
ParaDIME researcher Santhosh Rethinagiri presented two out of four High performance computing systems sessions: "Introduction to data-centers" and "Tools and methodologies for energy-aware data-centers".
The presentations can be found in the website of the Summer School. Please, visit the ICT-Energy website, Facebook page and Twitter timeline to find out more information. A Facebook group from the Summer School was also created.

ParaDIME project is member of the Consortium of the coordination activity ICT-Energy.
Participating in the live Twitter chat "Less energy consumption in ICT"
ICT-Energy, a coordinated activity where ParaDIME project belongs, hosted a live Twitter chat on the 18th of June in the framework of the Sustainable Energy Week and the Micro-Energy Day. The Twitter chat could be followed by the hashtag #LessEnergyICT. Below these line you can read the Storify of the live chat.
During the week, ParaDIME partner Barcelona Supercomputing Center offered information to the visitors to the MareNostrum supercomputer about micro-energy. Micro-energy refers to the energy that is often disregarded as unimportant but actually plays a significant role in our daily life. As an example… when you run out of battery in your mobile phone and really need to make that call!!! The amount of energy involved in this case is really very small compared to the energy required to drive a car, but you definitely notice when it's not there…

Ten minutes with... Dragomir Milojevic, IMEC
Dragomir Milojevic received his Ph. D. in Electrical Engineering from Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), Belgium. In 2004 he joined IMEC where he first worked on multi-processor and Network-on-Chip architectures for low-power multimedia systems. Nowadays, he is working on design methodologies and tools for technology aware design of 3D integrated circuits as part of the INSITE programme. Dragomir is associate professor at Faculty of Applied Sciences, ULB, where he co-founded Parallel Architectures for Real-Time Systems — PARTS research group. He has authored or co-authored more than 75 journal and conference articles, and served as technical program committee member to several conferences in the field.
1. Can you tell me a bit about your main research interests? What led you to work in this field?
My current research interest focuses mainly on the design enablement of future integrated circuits using both advanced device and packaging technologies. For advanced packing of the circuits we are looking into die and wafer level stacking of the circuits using 3D integration. The objective is to provide means to enable optimal system design using given integration technology.
At IMEC we develop process technologies to further enable the benefits of scaling in microelectronics industry. The recent change in the game (scaling wall) forced us to look further the simple CMOS scaling, a model that run for past 50 years but would eventually come to an end. That time is about to come, and we need to find new solutions to enable the extraordinary pace at which microelectronics industry has evolved over the past years. We believe that this is still possible (at least for mid-term developments) if we carefully design systems by co-optimizing the process technology and the system design.
ParaDIME at the 23rd IEEE International Symposium on Field-Programmable Custom Computing Machines
Ten minutes with... Oscar Palomar, Barcelona Supercomputing Center
Oscar Palomar is a senior researcher in the Computer Architecture for Parallel Paradigms group at Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC). His research interests relate to vector and low-power computer architectures. In the ParaDIME project, he works closely with fellow BSC researchers Santhosh Rethinagiri and Ruben Titos, while the principal investigators are BSC’s Adrián Cristal and Osman Ünsal.
ParaDIME at COOL Chips XVIII
Researcher Santhosh Kumar Rethinagiri presented "An Energy Efficient Hybrid FPGA-GPU based Embedded Platform to Accelerate Face Recognition Application" in the Session "Object recognition techniques" held at IEEE Symposium on Low-Power and High-Speed Chips COOL Chips XVIII at Yokohama (Japan). S. K. Rethinagiri asserts that "heterogeneous computing is the way to tackle dark silicon problem".
