[3] As part of its work, IEEE Rebooting Computing provides access to various resources like conferences and educational events, feature and scholarly articles, reports,[4] and videos.

IEEE Rebooting Computing announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) in March 2015.

[12] Established under Executive Order 13072 issued by U.S. President Barack Obama in July 2015, the NSCI calls for a coordinated Federal strategy in high-performance computing (HPC) research, development, and deployment.

[13] In October 2015, the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI), an interagency program of the U.S. government, announced a "Nanotechnology-Inspired Grand Challenge in Future Computing".

[14] A key document cited by NNI as part of this grand challenge is a white paper, co-sponsored by IEEE Rebooting Computing and ITRS, entitled Sensible Machines.

[19] Historically, computer processing power doubled every 18 months due to increasing densities of transistors per semiconductor unit.

To alleviate challenges brought on by limitations in computer architectures and sustain regular processing performance gains, there was a move toward instruction-level parallelism and superscalar microprocessors.

The website provides relevant news, information, and resources to users, such as articles authored by IEEE experts and third-party publications.

It also includes access to a list of both IEEE-sponsored and general industry conferences and events, videos, and historical data from IEEE Rebooting Computing's past summits.

[23] The web portal also hosts the IEEE Rebooting Computing Podcast,[24] which is a collection of interviews with leaders in the field, updated monthly.

An email newsletter is distributed monthly to several thousand community members, and includes free access to specially selected recent articles of interest from the IEEE Xplore library of journals and conference proceedings.

[26] IEEE Rebooting Computing sponsors, co-sponsors, and takes part in a variety of technology conferences and events worldwide.

Conference and event programming is designed to stimulate discussion of existing and emerging technologies, including challenges, benefits, and opportunities.

Typically lasting anywhere from a single day to a week or more, conference and event programming generally encompasses keynote addresses, panel discussions, paper presentations, poster sessions, tutorials, and workshops in one or more tracks.

The inaugural IEEE Rebooting Computing Summit was held in December 2013 in Washington, D.C.[28] The event drew business and industry, government, and academic representatives both from the U.S. and internationally for a variety of plenary lectures and brainstorming sessions.

[35] The goal of ICRC 2016 was to discover and foster novel methodologies to reinvent computing technology, including new materials and physics, devices and circuits, system and network architectures, and algorithms and software.

[37] The second conference in this series, ICRC 2017,[38] was held in November 2017 in Washington, DC, as part of IEEE Rebooting Computing Week.

[41] In November 2017, IEEE Rebooting Computing also sponsored a distinct one-day summit, following ICRC, which addressed similar topics but with a somewhat different focus and audience.

[45] Held as a one-day workshop as during the 2015 Design Automation Conference in San Francisco, California, the competition aimed to assess the state of low-power approaches to object detection in images.

Following this workshop, an IEEE Trend Paper was published[54] entitled "Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Applied to Cybersecurity", with recommendations for new standards and regulations for industry and government.

With the growing interest and technological developments in quantum computing, IEEE determined in 2018 to expand its role in establishing metrics and benchmarks in this nascent field.

As part of the initiative's work, IEEE Rebooting Computing members and societies regularly publish papers, manuscripts, journals and magazines, and other documents.

The initiative has been actively pursuing and aiding the industry in making progress toward possible solutions such as specialized chip architectures, millivolt switches, and 3D integrated circuits, as noted by Dr. Erik DeBenedictis of Sandia National Laboratories in "Power Problems Threaten to Strangle Exascale Computing".

[79] For example, in November 2018, Forbes Magazine published an article entitled, "IEEE Roadmaps Guide Future Memories and Applications" featuring IRDS.
