What can we conclude?

�  Power / Energy wall drives computing �  Single cores hardly improve

�  Need Multi-Core => Many-Core ¡  E.g. GPGPUs may contain thousands

of Processing Elements

�  Need Heterogeneous systems: ¡  Scalable Vdd – Performance

÷  Near Vth designs ¡  Big – Little configurations ¡  Include DSPs / VLIWs ¡  Include Accelerators

•  Devices are connected (Everything is connected)

•  Pervasive Computing is Mandatory

•  Smart is (not only) human

•  HPC could be in the pocket

•  Power Efficiency is the challenge

Technology allows (almost) human evolution -  Better Quality of Life -  Survival -  New Problems and

Questions More Competitively Life •  Where found Knowledge? •  How Use It? •  Constant Auto learning

… all life! •  Speed Life… but different

life.
