abstract = {The demise of scaling laws in micro-electronics has led to an era of innovation in software and hardware architectures aimed at improving the energy efficiency of computing systems. Albeit still highly relevant, software optimizations for mainstream systems, which make the bulk of today's computing systems, provide ever-decreasing returns in the range of single-digit percentages. This is why lots of attention has rightfully turn to domain-specific architectures and emerging technologies which promise improvements of one to several orders of magnitude. Software development for these novel systems is still characterized by low-level expert coding and brittle toolchains, preventing hardware innovations from reaching a broader impact. In this talk, we discuss ongoing efforts on providing high-level programming abstractions and optimizing compilers to automatically target emerging computing systems. We do this by looking at three ongoing projects, namely, (i) a collaborative HW-SW effort to reduce the energy footprint of baseband processing in upcoming cellular networks, (ii) and end-to-end compilation for energy-efficient HPC simulations on state-of-the-art reconfigurable systems, and (iii) an extensible compilation framework to optimize for novel in-memory and near-memory computing systems. Finally, we are interested in discussing how these kinds of tools can be embedded in the larger picture of full life-cycle management.},
