1st Berkeley Symposium on Energy Efficient Electronic Systems

Themes	Energy and the Environment
Emphases	Computational Science and Engineering
Campuses	UC Berkeley

June 11, 2009: 8:00am - June 12, 2009: 4:00pm
Location: Sutardja Dai Hall, UC Berkeley

The Symposium on Energy Efficient Electronic Systems (E3S) will take place on the Berkeley campus, on June 11-12, 2009. The goal of this two-day meeting is to find ways of building future electronic information processing systems, with major improvements in energy efficiency. We have a grand scope in mind, extending from new low-power nanoelectronic devices, through circuit design, chip-scale architecture, short-range interconnects, long-range interconnect, networks, software, storage systems, servers, data centers and supercomputers. Our idea is that it will be highly beneficial for researchers to better understand what is going on in this area both above and below them on the food chain. We believe there are many opportunities for closer cooperation and interaction up and down the line, and we hope this meeting will foster these collaborations.

Among the opportunities, there are new electronic devices in the laboratory that promise six orders of magnitude reduction in power consumption. This would influence all the higher levels in the food chain, allowing the information utility industry to achieve its full potential, working well within energy constraints.
