IBM Research - Austin is one of eight IBM research laboratories worldwide. The lab's original focus centered heavily on high-speed microprocessors, with emphasis on very fast circuit families and computer-aided design tools to support complex and high performance microarchitectures. The lab has not only maintained its edge in these areas, but broadened its concentration to include software and hardware systems.
Current focus areas of IBM Research - Austin include high performance/low power VLSI design and tools, system-level power analysis, and new system architectures. There is a wide range of low power and energy efficiency activities underway throughout the multiple IBM Research laboratories and throughout the various IBM product and services divisions.
In addition to its own ongoing power-related research, the lab, as part of IBM's Low Power Initiative, is helping to coordinate low power and energy efficiency activities and bring people together throughout IBM who are working in these important areas.
