Colloquium: Architecting Efficient Datacenter Systems, Dr. Haris Volos (University of Cyprus, Cyprus), Wednesday, March 26, 2025, 18:30-19:30 EET.
The Department of Computer Science at the University of Cyprus cordially invites you to the Colloquium entitled:
Architecting Efficient Datacenter Systems
 |
Speaker: Dr. Haris Volos |
Abstract:
As digital services, including e-commerce, social media, and streaming platforms, become increasingly integral to society and the economy, the demand for computing continues to grow. This growing demand places significant pressure on datacenters, the backbone of digital infrastructure, making it crucial to enhance their efficiency for sustainable growth. In this talk, we will present our efforts to improve the energy efficiency of processors and memory in datacenters. To enhance processor efficiency, we will introduce a novel deep sleep state architecture designed specifically for datacenter server processors handling latency-sensitive applications. To optimize memory efficiency, we will examine a datacentric design leveraging a heterogeneous memory architecture that integrates DRAM and non-volatile memory. Finally, we will outline our current and future research plans.
