Electric Vehicle Online Today, August, 2000 by University, Northwestern
Scientists at Northwestern University (NU) will develop novel architectural and compiler concepts that can reduce total energy consumption in computer applications. The research effort is being supported by a three-year, $2-million grant from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
"In developing a low-power system, we essentially want to shut off different components of the computer when they are not needed," said NU researcher Prith Banerjee. "Success requires an integrated approach. We need to develop both code that drives the computer in a smart way and architecture that can execute the code's commands."
The NU team will focus on the complex architecture of the computer and how it utilizes power to complete certain tasks,...
