198:500 section 02 (Index 11353) Light Seminar in Computer Science

Power, Energy, and Temperature Management in Computer Systems

Time and Location: Wednesdays from 1 to 2pm at CoRE 301 (aka CoRE A)

Instructors: Ricardo Bianchini (ricardob@cs.rutgers.edu) and Uli Kremer (uli@cs.rutgers.edu)
Term: Fall 2004

Overview

This seminar will cover some of the research topics that are being addressed by the DARK and EEL groups. In particular, we will read, present, and discuss papers on power, energy, and temperature management in computer systems. Participation in this seminar will prepare the students to do research that can lead to essays or theses.

Prerequisites

Students should be highly motivated to read, present, and discuss a wide selection of research papers.

Expected Work

The workload will be one research paper per week. Besides reading and discussing all papers, each student will be required to present one or two papers during the course of the seminar.
