Wide adaptation is indeed a prerequisite to assure continuous operation in spite of the widely fluctuating energy/power source (e.g.\, energy harv ester)\, and to grant swift response upon the occurrence of events of inte rest (e.g.\, on-chip data analytics)\, while maintaining extremely low con sumption in the common case. These requirements have led to the strong dem and of SoCs having an extremely wide performance-power scalability and ada ptation\, so that they can relentlessly operate without interruption in sp ite of the highly-uncertain power availability.\n\nIn this talk\, new dire ctions to drastically extend the performance-power scalability of digital\ , analog and power management circuits and architectures are presented. Si licon demonstrations of better-than-voltage-scaling adaptation to the work load are illustrated for both the data path (i.e.\, microarchitecture) and the clock path in the digital sub-system. New directions to achieve full- system coordinated power-performance scaling are also discussed. Silicon d emonstrations and trends in the state of the art of battery-light\, batter y-less and battery-indifferent SoCs are illustrated to quantify the benefi ts offered by wide power-performance adaptation\, identifying opportunitie s and challenges for the decade ahead. Finally\, an always-on mm-scale int egrated system that operates uninterruptedly when solely powered by moonli ght is demonstrated\, paving the way to a new generation of always-on syst ems with little to no battery.\n\nMassimo Alioto is a Professor at the ECE Department of the National University of Singapore\, where he leads the G reen IC group\, and is the Director of the Integrated Circuits and Embedde d Systems area and the FD-FAbrICS research center on intelligent&connected systems.
