Title:

Normally-Off Computing for Smart City Applications

Abstract:

It is indispensable for our modern society to reduce power consumption of computer systems. "Normally-Off" is a power managemet technology that aggressively cuts off power supply to components of computer systems when they need not to operate even under computation, while satifying performance requirement. In this talk, the appication of Normally-Off Computing to Smart City is discussed with brief introduction of the NEDO project started in 2011.
