On the 7th of October 2015 the 5th Research Festival of the CRC912 took place in the common surroundings of the campus of the TU Dresden. Already in May a second funding phase over 4 years (01.07.2016-30.06.2019) was granted by the DFG. During this period the scientists of the CRC have the chance to go on with their work on their seminal goal: to develop technologies which will allow high energy efficiency for computer systems without compromise according to their performance.

Against the normal duration of two days the work groups had to bundle there ideas and had to present, discuss and evaluate their results as well as to speak about new goals and the coordination of the second funding phase on one day.

After a short kick off held by the project coordinator Prof. Fettweis the scientists had the chance to come together during a short coffee break. Afterwards the mass of people was split up in their three general work groups (Hardware, Architecture, Software) to think about special topics important for them, for example individual goals, new contents or collaborations with other projects. Furthermore they had to prepare their presentations on the results they already made.Following a lunch break the three work groups presented their collected outcomes. Later on all came together for a short poster session. The complete staff estimated the Research Festival as extreme successful.
