Graduate class for system-level low-power design

This paper describes a graduate-level class to introduce a concrete framework for system level low-power design. This class is not a university class, but one of the special programs of the IT-SoC Promotion Group with the support of the Korea IT Industry Promotion Agency established by the Korean Ministry of Information and Communication. It is open to EECS and CSE graduate students from various universities, who participate in the IT-SoC Academy. We organize a two-week program offered during the winter vacation, consisting of 20-hour lectures and 40-hour experiments. The class is experiment oriented, and the students. build their own power simulators for low-power embedded systems based on theories and concepts introduced in the class.
