AbstractThis talk will introduce the audience to the research at Intel Labs. The world-class research overview will be followed by a special presentation on Intel’s academic programs. This will be followed by many innovations in improving energy efficiency in computation and communication. The primary focus of the rest of this talk will be on effects of voltage variations and device aging across a wide operating range of voltage and frequencies. The dynamic phenomena need dynamic techniques that include sensing and adaptation. We will present analog and digitals adaptive circuit techniques with microarchitecture hooks to mitigate the variation effects.
