Abstract

PATMOS has a history of 29 years and it is one of the first conferences world–wide focusing on low power design. The traditional scope of PATMOS conference series has mainly been about the design of circuits and systems optimized for highest performance at lowest power consumption. But meanwhile, power–efficiency has become extremely important for many other areas spreading far beyond this traditional R&D niche. Energy efficiency has become a must in the connected network of battery–operated nodes known as Internet–of–Things (IoT). Wearable devices, home appliances, vehicles and security surveillance systems mostly rely on small sensors that should ideally operate on battery charge for days. However, current battery technology can not meet the growing demands of these systems in terms of power. Also, energy–efficient ICT (Information and Communication Technology) infrastructures are a key issue of local and global economies. Based on the current trends, it is predicted that until the year 2030 the electricity consumption caused by the Internet will grow by up to 30 times. In addition, the strong increase of wireless communication and the growth of cloud computing require orders of magnitude more computational power. It is the intention of PATMOS 2019 to think beyond current solutions such that the wide gap between computation and the massive energy consumption for ICT infrastructures can be closed. Starting in 2018, PATMOS will be collocated with two other conferences in closely related topics. Together, the well–established IOLTS and PATMOS as well as the upcoming IVSW, are forming the FEDfRo, the federative event on Design for Robustness. Registering to PATMOS allows visiting events from the other conference tracks. Thus, PATMOS will be part of a larger, better, full–grown three–day event with more attractive shared keynotes and a larger common social program, connecting a larger community. Topics of Interest Papers are solicited on, but not limited to, the following topics: Timing and Performance Methodologies and tools for the analysis, design and verification of timing and performance properties of integrated circuits and systems at all levels of abstraction Design for yield, design for manufacturability Simulation tools Designs and architectures for asynchronous circuits and systems Coupling effects: analysis, modelling, simulation & experimentation Low Power and Thermal–aware Design Power/Thermal–aware architectures Power and performance optimization of multi–core systems Design techniques for thermal–aware and low power circuits and systems Methods for power and thermal estimation and optimization Power/thermal–aware synthesis and floorplanning Energy–harvesting Low Power Systems: wireless sensor networks, mobile computing, IoT Compilers, operating systems and runtime systems Power efficiency through parallelizing compilers or parallel programming Methods for programming novel multi–core architectures Real–time system compilers, operating systems and run–time systems FPGAs and GPU–based accelerators Novel architectures for FPGAs and GPU–based accelarators High–Level abstractions and CAD tools Neuro–Inspired accelerators Customized processor instruction sets Optimization techniques for dynamically reconfigurable systems Case studies and challenges High Performance Computing (HPC) and Data Centers Supercomputing: compilers, operating systems, run time systems Hardware–software interaction for low power and high–performance Modeling and analysis of energy costs for HPC systems and infrastructures Power analysis for data centers, supercomputers, communication networks Power–efficient I/O interfaces and NoC design Case studies: test cases, or design study challenges on data stations or supercomputers Application–specific power efficiency by algorithmic and analytic efforts Application of Computational Intelligence to implement high–performance systems (Neural Networks, Support Vector Machines, Self–Organizing Maps, Neuromorphic systems) Banking, financial modelling and financial database acceleration Social networks, games, entertainment, ambient intelligence, ubiquitous and wearable computing Bioinformatics, bio–inspired, medical, and genetics systems and life sciences Physics and astronomy, weather prediction, oil and gas exploration.
