Trevor Mudge

The fellowship will advance his research on exploiting hardware reconfigurability in an effort to bridge the gap between programmability and efficiency that affects modern computing systems.

The paper introduces new hardware and software design principles to improve the performance of several important large-scale irregular workloads.

Mudge’s paper examined the power-saving needs of high-performance computing.

The speedy and efficient system-on-chip could unify wireless communication.

This award recognizes the paper published 15 years ago (2002) that has had the biggest impact on the field

His inventive approaches have led to new technologies that reduce the energy consumption of microprocessors while maintaining acceptable performance.

The two papers from Michigan introduced the Sirius personal digital assistant and the MBus bus for modular microcomputing systems.

So went the vote held in the debating chamber of the University of Cambridge Union.

He was recognized as an “outstanding educator and researcher whose work has advanced the field of low-power computer architecture and its interaction with technology.”

The project proposes to produce a parallel heterogeneous 3D near-threshold computing system with unprecedented energy efficiency.

The research addressed voltage scaling of processors at the point where, at very low voltages, voltage leakage begins to dominate the computational power consumption.

The contest is highly competitive and features the best student projects from the largest and most prestigious conferences in their respective fields.

The research funded by Google involves redesigning servers and data centers to improve their energy efficiency.

The winning paper describes a commercial prototype processor that targets wireless baseband processing for the next generation of cellular phones.
