Processor performance advances are increasingly inhibit(ed by limitations in thermal power dissipation. Part of the problem is the lack of architectural power estimates before implementation. Although high-performance designs exist that dissipate low power, the method for finding these designs has bc:en through trial-and-error.

Processor performance advances are increasingly inhibited by limitations in thermal power dissipation. Part of the problem is the lack of architectural power estimates before implementation. Although high-performance designs exist that dissipate low power, the method for nding these designs has been through trial-and-error. This paper presents systematic techniques to nd low-power, high-perform...

In this review article, we aim to depict how healthcare facilities may look in the near future from an architectural design point of view. For this purpose, we review newly introduced technology and medical advances in the field of healthcare, such as artificial intelligence (AI), robotic surgery, 3D printing, and information technology (IT), and suggest how those advances may affect the archit...

Context: Self-Driving cars are getting more and more attention with public demonstration from all important automotive OEMs but also from companies, which do not have a long history in the automotive industry. Fostered by large international competitions in the last decade, several automotive OEMs have already announced to bring this technology to the market around 2020. Objective: Internationa...
