Brussels - Sept. 28 2010

NiPS Laboratory (Dipartimento di Fisica, Università di Perugia) organized a Networking session on "Energy efficient ICT" during the International Conference ICT2010 (Brussels 27-29 September, 2010).

Energy efficiency is usually defined as “the percentage of energy input to a device that is consumed in useful work and not wasted as useless heat”. However, this does not apply to the next generation of nanoscale ICT devices. The basic mechanism behind energy dissipation requires a new definition when non-equilibrium processes involving only a few degrees of freedom are considered. Thus, the goal of achieving highly efficient devices involves rethinking both energy and information dissipation.

The aim of the Networking Session entitled "Energy efficient ICT: toward zero-power devices for a greener planet" was to bring together European experts at the cutting-edge of developing efficient low-power ICT devices that harvest most of their energy from the environment with a positive impact on the ICT carbon footprint for a greener and healthier planet.

The Session took place on the 28th September 2010 in Brussels at room T 010 from 14:00-15:30 and have seen the participation of more than 50 persons.
