This paper presents an energy-conservation method for multiple disks and their cache memory. Our method periodically resizes the cache memory and controls the rotation speeds unde...
As the importance of multimedia applications in hand-held devices increases, the computational strain and corresponding demand for energy in such devices continues to grow. Portab...
