We are proud to announce the inaugural lecture of cfaed Strategic Professor Akash Kumar (Chair for Processor Design)
29 April 2016, 15:00-17:00Andreas-Pfitzmann-Bau, Room E023, Nöthnitzer Str. 46 , 01187 DresdenAs the performance demands of applications (e.g., multimedia) are growing, multiple processing cores are integrated together to form multiprocessor systems. Energy minimization is a primary optimization objective for these systems. An emerging concern for designs at deep-submicron technology nodes (65nm and below) is the lifetime reliability, as escalating power density and hence temperature variation continues to accelerate wear-out leading to a growing prominence of device defects. As such, reliability and energy need to be incorporated in the multiprocessor design methodology. In this talk, Prof. Kumar will present a platform-based design methodology in order to minimize temperature-related wear-outs. Concepts of approximate computing and how they can be used to address the problems shown by emerging power-wall in modern systems will also be covered. The inaugural lecture will be followed by a small reception.

Congratulations to Dr. Marco Zimmerling, who was announced to receive the 2015 ACM SIGBED Paul Caspi Memorial Dissertation Award! The committee honors Dr. Zimmerling for his thesis "End-to-end Predictability and Efficiency in Low-power Wireless Networks", which he completed at ETH Zurich. Dr. Zimmerling has been leading cfaed's Networked Embedded Systems Group since November 2015.
The ACM SIGBED Paul Caspi Memorial Dissertation Award is given by the Special Interest Group on Embedded Systems (SIGBED) of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). ACM is the world's largest educational and scientific computing society. The award has been established in 2013 in memory of Dr. Paul Caspi (1944-2012). The award recognizes outstanding doctoral dissertations that significantly advance the state of the art in the science of embedded systems. The winner was selected by a committee, chaired by Prof. Wang Yi. Seven nominations for the award have been received from Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, and USA.

Dresden is a place where scientists from all over the world live and work in research institutes and institutions. The places they come from are as diverse as their professional fields. However, their scientific work and lives remain largely invisible within the urban space of Dresden. This major exhibition hopes to change this.The photographer Gabriele Seitz shot about 150 black and white portraits of international scientists. The photographs are presented in conjunction with objects from their research and objects they have brought from home in order to provide insight into the professional and private lives of those portrayed.
Spot the cfaed scientists...!

The 12th China Chongqing Hi-Tech Fair opens its doors on April 21. A German delegation (one of 14 international delegations) will attend the exhibition in the megacity. The research institutes and companies of the German delegation are from Saxony predominantly. In China, they exhibit high-tech solutions e.g. smart systems for condition monitoring of industrial equipment, environmental monitoring as well as automation technologies. The head of the German delegation is cfaed's Principal Investigator Prof. Dr. Thomas Gessner, director of the Fraunhofer ENAS in Chemnitz and the Center for Microtechnologies at TU Chemnitz.

More than 40 registered academic researchers and modeling engineers attended two sessions to hear 10 technical compact modeling engineering talks. This year, compact modeling of emerging technologies such as organic transistors, carbon nanotube transistors and chemical transistors were in focus with contributions from industry and academia. “The talks and discussions revealed an increasing interest of industry and system designers to evaluate the performance and applicability of emerging technologies,” summarized cfaed group leader Dr.-Ing. Martin Claus, local organizer of the workshop in Dresden. He pointed out that “compact models bridge the gap between technology development and applications by providing useful insights for guiding the technology development and by enabling circuit design.” MOS-AK is a dedicated forum for engineers and scientists working in that field.
The MOS-AK Dresden workshop presentations are available here:
