Synopsis

WelcometotheproceedingsofthePower-AwareComputerSystems(PACS2002) workshopheld in conjunction with the 8th InternationalSymposium on High PerformanceComputerArchitecture(HPCA-8). Improvementsincomputers- temperformancehavebeenaccompaniedbyanalarmingincreaseinpowerand energydissipation,leading tohigher costandlowerreliabilityinallcomputer systemsmarketsegments. Thehigherpower/energydissipationhasalsosign- icantlyreducedbatterylife inportablesystems. Whilecircuit-leveltechniques continuetoreducepowerandenergy,alllevelsofcomputersystemsarebeing usedtoaddresspowerandenergyissues.

Theseproceedingsincluderesearchpapersspanningawidespectrumof- eas in power-aware systems. We have grouped the papers into the following categories:(1)power-awarearchitectureandmicroarchitecture,(2)power-aware real-time systems, (3) power modeling and monitoring, and (4) power-aware operatingsystemsandcompilers.
