◈ Abstract : 1 Yotta (1024) FLOPS is needed for 1ms 20K atoms protein folding simulation. The quest for high performance processor has been limited by power and price. It has been known performance per 100mW as 0.05GF for CPU, 0.2GF for GPGPU, 1GF for DSP and 10GF for dedicated HW (all normalized to H.264 codec work load in 32nm technology node) in year 2011. For a 100mW 1TFLOPS Exascale Processor in year 2020, 1/1000 power reductions is needed as: 1) 1/10 by architecture innovation: Only 1% in CPU and 10% in dedicated HW nodes are switching even for heavy work load, and there are plenty of room to leverage extensive clock gating and/or to implement the best-fit-in design for a given silicon budget.  Borrowing from dedicated HW’s complex operations, and implicitly addressable distributed stack queue , micro-threaded with extreme WideIO main memory and massive simultaneous thread handling processor architecture will reduce the number of execution cycles greatly while the most of the complexity can be handled by compiler and libraires to keep the simple, regular, deep ULIW-arrayed pipeline to enable the highest clock frequency. The talk will provide the inspiration how to unify the computing architecture from very fine grain threaded applications such as CS (Communicative Sequential) to massive threaded one such as 3D graphics, medical and atom level simulations, leveraging various levels of SW and HW libraries. 2) 1/10 by technology migration:  45nms to 8nm migration may result the larger silicon budget than scaled one to compensate the margin for  too sensitive dynamic PVT variations. LAGS (Local Asynchronous Global Synchronous) design will be helpful for highly tolerable to best use of the extreme scaling.. The need of fast and simple MUX circuits are getting more and more important for the speed, area and power. For example 256:1 forwarding path, 256-bit SIMD shuffling paths, 128-bit x 128-bit cross bar  with 128-layers up to 8-bit shuffling network, all we need is super-MUX, and this talk will address how to handle it. 3) 1/10 by ELV (Extreme Low Voltage) engineering: To reduce the VDD down to the lowest such as 0.1V while maintaining the competitive Ion as 1mA/um for maximum speed and Ioff as 1nA/um for minimum static power leveraging the most sweet spot ABB for Vbackbias for bulk and Vbackgate and Vchannel for SOI .

◈ Abstract : TRIZ” is the Russian acronym for the “Theory of Inventive Problem Solving.” G.S. Altshuller and his colleagues in the former USSR developed the method between 1946 and 1985. TRIZ is an international science of creativity that relies on the study of the patterns of problems and solutions, not on the spontaneous and intuitive creativity of individuals or groups. TRIZ is a popular, scientifically based inventive problem solving process. It is based on the idea that there are universal principles of invention that are the basis for creative innovations that advance technology.
Recently in Korea, many companies have started using TRIZ and successful applications of TRIZ have reported. Especially TRIZ University was established in Feb. 1st 2010 and the best practices of TRIZ have reported.

◈ Title : Low Power Design: Facts, Myths, and Misunderstandings
◈ Speaker : Prof.  Youngsoo Shin (KAIST)
◈ Date & Time : Friday, October  28, 2011 (15:50pm ~ 17:20pm)
◈ Place : LG Research Building, Room #101
◈ Host :  Department of Electrical Engineering (Prof. Sungjoo Yoo)

             IDEC Distinguished Lecturer Program
◈ Abstract : An example is “My chip consumes 100mW”. Power consumption cannot  be declared as a concrete number because there are so much inaccuracies and uncertainties involved during the estimation. Another example is the statement that “My chip consumes 100mW and this is the lowest I can get”. After understanding that a chip is typically designed with huge amount of margins, it is easy to see that the limit is far beyond. A few of these things, which often go unnoticed but deserve careful consideration, are addressed in this talk.
