ICT4 - Customised and low power computing Computing is changing (again): embedded ICT and cyber- physical systems are everywhere; demand for low-power and high-performance computing is growing; a new "computing continuum" is emerging. Three trends are common across many market segments: Multi core and parallel architectures Energy efficiency Mixed criticality systems and applications
