Slavisa JOVANOVIC: Vers les architectures et systèmes de calcul guidés par l'énergie

Abstract:
Mankind is witnessing what is often seen as the fourth industrial revolution or so called “Intelligence Revolution”, currently driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data (BD) and IoT (Internet of Things) technologies. These technologies, mainly based on the massive data processing in data centers in a centralized way, start to show their limits especially in the applications needing rapid decision and low latencies as well as characterized with limited power budgets and tight energy constraints. Therefore, progressive decentralization of the current computing paradigm towards the ends of this complex centralized infrastructure in the layers often called fog and edge, or even in near-sensor layers is currently observed. The way the systems are designed is also evolving at all levels (system, architecture, circuit) and must take into account the environmental factors such as cost, sustainability and supply in energy. The two keywords Computing and Energy harvesting resulting from the previous context in a broader sense are the two orientations which have led all my research activities until now and allow me to orient my future works toward architectures and systems driven by energy or intermittent computing systems.
