Cool Silicon - Energy Efficiency Innovations from Silicon Saxony
Cool Silicon ist eines von fünf Projekten, die es schafften in der ersten Spitzencluster-Wettbewerbsrunde des BMBF gefördert zu werden. Innerhalb des Clusters entwickeln sächsische Hochschulen, Forschungsinstitute und Unternehmen gemeinsam neue Technologien für energiesparende Computing-Plattformen und elektronische Systeme. Projekte der Area 1 „Mikro- und Nanotechnologien“ forschen an Basistechnologien für energieeffiziente IKT-Produkte und deren Anwendung in Computern. Ihr Ziel: In Zukunft soll die IT-Branche schon beim Entwurf einzelner Komponenten nicht nur die Rechenleistung, sondern auch die Energieeffizienz optimieren.
Das ZIH konzentriert sich innerhalb des Projektes Cool Analysis unter anderem auf die Weiterentwicklung von hochskalierbaren Performanceanalysetools um die Komponente der Energieeffizienzanalyse und auf Strategien zur Energieeffizienzoptimierung von HPC Anwendungen.
