The Next Decade of Co-Design Innovation
This AFOSR/SNL/AFRL/DOE/NSF/NIH/ARO supported workshop will bring together leaders from national laboratories, industry, academia, and government for the purpose of examining crucial challenges, including runaway costs at high performance computing centers and the ever-increasing demands for computation in energy constrained environments, assessing the current state-of-the-art in both fundamental understanding and in technology, and developing recommendations for future collaborations.

Main Theme: The Next Decade of Energy-Driven Co-Design Innovation
The Energy Consequences of Information (ECI) Workshop 2027 invites researchers to submit contributions addressing the fundamental science and emerging technologies that will define the future of energy-efficient computing and information processing. As demands from artificial intelligence, scientific computing, communications, sensing, and edge systems continue to grow, understanding the energy cost of computation — and discovering new pathways to reduce it—has become a central challenge across disciplines.
