Call for Papers
Here's your chance to showcase your work, share your expertise, and open a dialogue with the Power Architecture community.
Contribute to our technical curriculum by submitting ideas for how-tos, standards, implementations – anything novel or helpful in developing Power Architecture solutions. Please consider how your idea integrates with our theme "breaking down the barriers to innovation."
While the submission deadline has passed, the technical review committee will consider late submissions on a case by case basis, if you are interested in submitting a topic for consideration please contact PADCinfo@power.org
Suggested Conference Disciplines and Topics
We are looking for technical presentations within these innovative
disciplines: | Suggested Disciplines |
Suggested Topics |
| Virtualization: Hardware and software perspectives Virtualization helps customers optimize hardware resource utilization and has been a great success story for server consolidation. The use of virtualization is broadening beyond servers into embedded and desktop systems. This topic covers how virtualization is used across application segments from both hardware and software perspectives. |
|
| Digital Media built on Power
Architecture technology Digital media is becoming prevalent in all aspects of our lives, especially in the home. Power Architecture technology – from the instruction set architecture (ISA) to the implementations – is well suited for innovative digital media solutions. This discipline covers how Power Architecture technology is applied in the digital home and beyond. |
|
| Power Architecture technology in compute-intensive
solutions Power Architecture technology is well known for its exceptional numeric processing capabilities in high-performance systems. For example, Power Architecture technology runs the world's fastest supercomputers, holding four of the top five spots on the TOP500 list as of November 2006. This discipline covers strategies for building compute-intensive systems. |
|
| Multi-core solutions with Power Architecture technology There is a clear shift toward developing systems with multi-core processors. Power Architecture technology, which typically has been associated with having the best performance-per-watt ratio on the market, is being used in many types of multi-core solutions – enabling even more efficient designs. This discipline covers design challenges and resources associated with multi-core application development. |
|
| Open source for an open architecture: Software development for the
Power Architecture platform Open source software development accelerates innovation and lowers design costs. It also gives customers greater freedom in choosing vendors. This discipline addresses how open source solutions, particularly Linux, are being leveraged with Power Architecture technology. |
|
| An Embedded Perspective Embedded computing is not new - but the lines of what makes a device "embedded" are blurring. Embedded applications typically have very limited memory and power constraints, and today's embedded devices, more than ever before, must have significant processing power. For these reasons, Power Architecture technology has been a leader in embedded systems for more than a decade. This discipline covers what it takes to develop innovative embedded solutions for networking, industrial, and automotive. |
|
| Globally green Power Architecture technology As global energy prices and attention to environmental preservation increases, power consumption, hazardous chemicals, and waste are all important considerations in product development. Power Architecture technology has always been power efficient. This discipline covers what is happening within the Power Architecture community to address environmental issues in a tangible way. |
|
| Other Disciplines If you have a topic that you don’t see covered within our disciplines, please submit under the ‘Other’ category for consideration. |
