DESCRIPTION:Prof. Douglas C. Burger\nPower efficiency has constrained the 
 growth of single-threaded performance\, but will soon also constrain the s
 caling of multicore chips.	In this talk\, I will project how Moore's Law w
 ill affect multicore designs\, and show that energy efficiency will determ
 ine the number of cores that we can fit on a chip\, leading to a model tha
 t I call "pinhole processing."  I will describe the TFlex microarchitectur
 e\, a class of ultra-adaptive EDGE-based cores that can enable dynamic het
 erogeneity through composability\, subsuming many of the heterogeneous mul
 ticore design points.  Finally\, I will offer some thoughts on what comes 
 after multicore.\n\nBio: Doug Burger is a Principal Researcher and Manager
  of the Computer Architecture Group at Microsoft Research. He is currently
  on leave from the University of Texas at Austin\, where he is a Professor
  of Computer Sciences and Electrical & Computer Engineering\, and where he
  co-ran the TRIPS project\, which developed EDGE architectures and NUCA me
 mory systems. His research interests are in computer architecture\, power-
 efficient computing\, novel computing technologies\, and compilers. He rec
 eived the ACM Maurice Wilkes Award in 2006\, was named an ACM Distinguishe
 d Scientist in 2008\, and is Chair of ACM SIGARCH.\n\nDouglas C. Burger's
