Efficient Computing in the Post-Moore Era

Per Stenstrom

Chalmers University of Technology

Abstract

Compute performance has grown exponentially, by a factor of two every two years, since the 70s because of the technology miniaturization trends correctly predicted by Gordon Moore. But now, the free lunch is over. Innovation needs to focus on using compute resources substantially more efficiently. In this talk, I will offer a long-term vision as well as short-term innovation opportunities that can contribute to efficient computing in the post-Moore era.

My long-term vision builds on optimization across the compute stack while retaining well-defined functional interfaces. Traditionally, abstraction across layers have been fundamental to deal with complexities but counter-productive to efficiency. As an example, I will show-case a current research effort to manage resources efficiently by cross-cutting abstraction layers. As for short-term innovation opportunities, it is possible to use memory resources substantially more efficient by smart and fast algorithms to compress memory data. I will showcase how such a technology moved ultrafast from research to commercial deployment.
