IBM (NYSE: IBM) will today host its fifth annual Conference on Energy Efficient Design in Austin. The forum brings industry, government and academic leaders together with IBM researchers and developers from around the world to discuss new approaches to chip and systems design to drive breakthroughs in power management and energy-efficient computing.

Special guest, Andrew Fanara, from the U.S. EPA, is on hand to discuss the ENERGY STAR® Program, intended to help businesses and individuals protect the environment by identifying products with superior energy efficiency and savings. Additional presentations from IBM, Intel, Texas Instruments, Pennsylvania State University and the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, explore innovations in energy efficient, reliable chip and systems design, systems power management, and power management technology for portable devices.

IBM has led the technology industry in energy-smart innovation for over forty years, which has led to radical breakthroughs in mainframe cooling efficiency to the development of the world’s most powerful computer in Blue Gene that delivers the most performance per kilowatt of power consumed. The Austin Conference on Energy Efficient Design was started by IBM’s Austin Research Lab in 2002, to further enable development of technologies and solutions for energy-efficient computing.
