Abstract :
Summary form only given. As the promises of convergence begin to materialize, and as Moore\´s law inexorably drives computing to your fingertips, new computing and communications usage models are striving to harness the bounty of "limitless" transistors. From relatively well understood enterprise or gaming environments to the more esoteric bio-computing or intelligent homes of tomorrow, the applications seem limitless. However, on the technology front, power and performance are at opposite ends of the fulcrum, in the constant quest to achieve a balance. How should this problem be approached, without sacrificing ever escalating user requirements of security, manageability, and business anywhere and at any time? Dr. Vrsalovic speaks about the latest trends, including the transition to multiple processing cores, increased process efficiencies, approaches to architecture design, and their implications on the quest for power efficient computing
