LRC is a chance to revisit computing with resource constraints. In an era with exascale
machines, half-gigawatt data centers, and billion dollar clusters built with nanometer
processes, meaningful and essential computation remains practical running thousands of
operations per second with nanowatts of electricity, on tens of cents, in hundreds of
microns.
This is is an opportunity to rediscover the potential of everything from legacy silicon
to the latest processing architecture. In between, we'll visit the realm of 'virtual'
low-resource computing finding and fielding weird machines in unexpected places.
