Speaker Prof. Jörg Henkel is with Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany, where he is directing the Chair for Embedded Systems CES. Before, he was a Senior Research Staff Member at NEC Laboratories in Princeton, NJ. He received his PhD from Braunschweig University with "Summa cum Laude". Prof. Henkel has/is organizing various embedded systems and low power ACM/IEEE conferences/symposia as General Chair and Program Chair and was a Guest Editor on these topics in various Journals like the IEEE Computer Magazine. He was Program Chair of CODES'01, RSP'02, ISLPED’06, SIPS'08, CASES'09, Estimedia'11, VLSI Design'12, ICCAD’12, PATMOS’13, NOCS’14, DAC’20 and served as General Chair for CODES'02, ISLPED’09, Estimedia’12, ICCAD’13,  ESWeek'16 and MLCAD’19. He is/has been a steering committee member of major conferences in the embedded systems field like at ICCAD, ESWeek, ISLPED, Codes+ISSS, CASES, MLCAD and is/has been an editorial board member of various journals like the IEEE TVLSI, IEEE TCAD, IEEE TMSCS, ACM TCPS, JOLPE etc. In recent years, Prof. Henkel has given more than ten keynotes at various international conferences primarily with focus on embedded systems dependability. He has given full/half-day tutorials at leading conferences like DAC, ICCAD, DATE etc. Prof. Henkel received the 2008 DATE Best Paper Award, the 2009 IEEE/ACM William J. Mc Calla ICCAD Best Paper Award, the Codes+ISSS 2015, 2014, and 2011 Best Paper Awards, and the MaXentric Technologies AHS 2011 Best Paper Award as well as the DATE 2013 Best IP Award and the DAC 2014 Designer Track Best Poster Award. He is the Chairman of the IEEE Computer Society, Germany Section, and was the Editor-in-Chief of the ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems (ACM TECS) for two consecutive terms. He is currently the SIGDA Vice Chair and Conference Chair. He is an initiator and the coordinator of the German Research Foundation's (DFG) program on 'Dependable Embedded Systems' (SPP 1500). He is the site coordinator (Karlsruhe site) of the Three-University Collaborative Research Center on "Invasive Computing" (DFG TR89). He is the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Design&Test Magazine. He holds ten US patents and is a Fellow of the IEEE.

Abstract: Negative-Capacitance Field-Effect Transistor (NCFET) is emerging as a promising new technology with various advantages as well as new challenges compared to conventional CMOS technology. NCFET technology can operate at lower voltage while they may still provide the same level of performance. While the exact trade-offs are still to be explored, it is obvious that lower power designs are possible. However, employing NCFET technology will have significant effect on circuits, architecture and system level management techniques. For example, as opposed to conventional CMOS technology there is an asymmetry in the on-current that needs to be addressed at the circuit level. Another example is the power consumption: particularly the leakage current has an inverse tendency as a function of the supply voltage. That means that conventional power management techniques for multi-core will not work any longer since they would lead to sub-optimal results depending on system-level workload properties. These are some examples of the implications at the architectural and system level that will be discussed during this talk after a short general introduction to NCFET.
