The EnyAC group's research covers various aspects related to novel
computing paradigms for low power, energy aware computing and CAD
tools for low power design. While it is recognized that power consumption
has become the limiting factor in keeping up with increasing performance
trends, static or point solutions for power reduction are beginning
to reach their limits. Energy aware computing is intended to provide
a solution into how various power reduction techniques can be used
and orchestrated such that the best performance can be achieved
within a given power budget, or the best power efficiency can be
obtained under prescribed performance constraints. The paradigm
of energy aware computing is intended to fill the gap between gate/circuit-level
and system level power management techniques, by providing more
power management levels and application-driven adaptability.
